My mother found an old belt buckle buried in the yard of our family farmhouse in Kansas. The front is embossed with a likeness of Abraham Lincoln, an eagle, other U.S. symbols and the words, "In Memory of Our Dear President." The back is embossed Official Funeral Plate issued to all United States Congressmen, Washington, D.C., Made from captured heavy Confederate Guns." Is this a piece of history or just junk?
The buckle is, indeed, junk. It is one of several notorious fake buckles that have been confusing collectors since the late 1960s. An English firm called Deane and Adams sold the buckles. All of them are Western-style modern concoctions and are not copies of authentic old buckles. The fakes included a whole line of Wells Fargo, American Express, Ku Klux Klan, Mickey Mouse, Coca-Cola and patriotic buckles. The fakes, identified as fakes, sell for about $25 each today.
