| When you do get side tracked, sometimes you can buy a lot of things all at once. This was one lot of buckles from an auction. This kind of thing can be very catch-as-catch-can. Sometimes there is good stuff in there, other times not so much. Some of these in this left immage are actually nice, but you have to know enough to pick them out. The right image shows another batch of buckles - but many of them are 17th/18th c. shoe buckles, and those are very common and cheap. It is like buying one of those bags of stamps that were sold when I was young. |
