They could do some amazing things with what they had to work with back then. This harness boss isn't a buckle but is colonial who would have thought they could make something like this back then

Ok now, looking at the back I say you're probably right early 1900's I didn't notice how it is kind of hollowed out on the back. Sure looked colonial from the other side though

These items are thin, stamped brass--and they date to turn of the century (1900). The one SS posted is cast brass. I only find the type in the original post at my late Victorian sites. Top row, third from the right: http://forum.treasurenet.com/index....ofile;u=16234;sa=pictures;view=1432-Buckleboy

 If you look at my original post  I said what type of Buckle it was  it still is, I only said it fitted the Colonial period because of the time they dated from 1500s  I can see that the Buckle Kugers posted is indeed stamped brass, but it doesn't detere from the fact that its a.....Double Looped Assymetrical Buckle, which is what the poster asked  also the one Kuger posted doesn't have the treyfoil on the bottom loop  SS
