Vintage Bergamot Brass Works Steam Locomotive Belt Buckle – 1983

This impressive Bergamot Brass Works belt buckle, produced in 1983, captures the powerful romance and history of America’s golden age of rail travel.

The reverse side includes the Bergamot Brass Works maker’s mark along with an inscription celebrating the luxury and adventure of rail travel in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, adding both historical and collectible appeal.
