*********************************************************** HISTORY OF THE BELT BUCKLE.

Buckles were used in ancient Greece and Rome, particularly in military equipment and military dress. Buckles were first used commonly in the cheek strap of the Roman Galea, hence the word origin from the Latin bucca–cheek. Buckles were also commonly used in the Celtic civilisation. Because of the simplicity and durability of the buckle, it became popular in harnesses and embroidery, especially in shoes and boots. It was commonly used as a typical clasp for clothing until the zipper was invented.



CONTEMPORARY USES TODAY.

The buckle is most commonly used for belts, although it is still used in shoes and particularly boots. Tanker Boots employ the use of buckles because of the disadvantages of laces. Buckles can also be seen on backpacks, watches and other wrist jewelry, or for ornamental purposes on other various objects. Buckles are also commonly seen in modern Gothic Fashion.



*********************************************************** Cowboy Belt Buckle History

The effect of cowboy belt buckle is known until today. Every cowboy usually use belt buckle which has a very typical design and also can be used as their identity. Several of the most wanted belt buckle designs consist of the American eagle and patriotic flag belt buckle which is very common design on belt buckles not to mention a great seller for manufactures. If you see these days popular design is the cowboy riding the bronco, and the Confederate Flag. Talk about the symbol of eagle comes in many variety, some show the eagle's flying, or just the eagle’s head. The cowboy belt buckle did not found until the first of 20th Century. As the idea of collecting old and antique belt buckles of the popular cowboys who travels the ranges of the Wild West is great, but in the reality of it was all cowboys usually wore suspenders or buckles that were derived from military friction buckles. Then when Hollywood is gaining their fortune, the Western Movies that gave rise to what is we know today as the Western Belt Buckle. If you notice there are smaller belt buckles which has size less than 3” inches and very popular among women while the men has other taste for belt buckles that are larger than 3" inches. These are typically what people think of when they hear "Cowboy Buckles". Most designs, shape and patterns on the larger belt buckles usually come in many options. A lot of them are simply for ornament, eg: the shape of gold cowboy boots, a horseshoe, a cowboy riding a horse, and etc. You could say that the cowboy belt buckle is very rustic and stylish also a perfect bet for any one who intend to collect them. Smaller buckles often have more elaborate pictures to compliment their size. Horse cameos are predominantly popular, as are illustrations of the western lifestyle, such as a miniature cowboy on a bucking bronco.



*********************************************************** What is a Pewter “BELT BUCKLE” ?

is an alloy or mixture of metals that can contain various percentages of tin, lead, antimony, bismuth, copper or silver. The best pewter or "Fine Pewter" contains at least 92% tin and no lead. Antimony and bismuth add varying degrees of strength and/or hardness. It is sad to note that some low grade pewters contain as much as 80% lead. These are to be avoided, especially if the pewter will be used in contact with food or beverages. Heritage PewterTM is high grade "Fine Pewter" which is lead-free. All of the products in this site are fine pewter. How To Clean Pewter Pewter can be cleaned or renewed in several different ways. 1. Wiping with a damp cloth can remove many stains or dust build-ups. 2. If the item has a highly polished finish, some light tarnish can be removed with pewter polish (similar to polishing silver). Do not use silver polish on pewter. You can obtain pewter polish at higher-end retailers who sell pewter serving items. 3. If the item has a satin or matte finish, you can rub it gently with very fine "0000" steel wool. It is best to try a small a spot on the bottom first to see how it looks. What Is My Pewter Worth? We get many calls questioning the value of an old pewter piece that someone has found or acquired. Our best advice is to take the item to an appraiser in your local area. An experienced appraiser can best determine the value of an item after inspecting it.



********************************************************** HISTORY OF THE HESSTON BUCKLES

In the 1970’s, many farm implement companies used belt buckles bearing their companies names as a form of advertising. The Hesston Company also followed the trend and commissioned their Ist buckle in 1974. It was made by Ruebrow Manufacturing, Brooklyn, NY. Approximately 15,000 were made.

The 1974 Buckle promotion was unsuccessful, so Hesston decided to try another approach. They approached Rodeo Cowboy Association about the possibilities of televising the National Finals Rodeo. The plan was to target Texas, Oklahoma and Kansas. So in order to test its effectiveness, they asked each dealer to supply a list of 150 customers and prospects in his area. Hesston then made a direct mailing to the customer asking them to complete a questionnaire stating whether they watched the NFR program and if they would watch it again. The customer then took the card to their dealer to be validated and the company mailed them a 1974 Hesston buckle. This allowed Hesston to disperse all of their Ist buckles.

Associated Advertising Agency, along with Gene Countryman. Director of Communications at Hesston (now with Wichita Tourism Bureau) decided to try another buckle, the 1975 and sell it. They had a design drawn by Bill Manley, in-house artist of Associated Advertising Agency and the PRC Rodeo Association approved it.

The buckle was made by Lewis Buckle Co. of Chicago. It was made by being cast in a rubber type mold. It took a long time for the order to be filled. 50,000 buckles were made.

The buckle became a successful collector's item because of an imprint on the back. Limited addition, collectors buckle. Bill Manley designed a total of 10 Hesston buckles. He is now deceased. 1975 was the only year that Hesston made a boot scraper.

The 1976 buckle was produced by A&E Die Casting, Gardenia, CA. This company was purchased by Mattel, (makers of Hot Wheels toys) and they completed the contract. The die was produced by an outside firm, by an old German engraver who retired after finishing the die. With the aid of a magnifying glass, you can see tiny stars in the background. Approximately 125,000 buckles were produced.

The 1977 was the Ist one to be oval shaped and was produced by Cast Products, Chicago, IL. Approximately 150,000 were made. Also in 1977, the Ist numbered silver buckle was made for Dealer incentives. Also, a Pro Rodeo belt was made. 1977 was the only year for a license plate promoting Professional Rodeo. It was made and available only to Territory Managers and Dealers.
