Brought this belt buckle expecting it to be white metal, when it arrived found it was anodized. Daughter stopped me mid jig by stating that I was very sad!!
Unusual maker stamp on back Top part "BELT BY HOBSONS" bottom part "CLASP BY J.R.GAUNT" |

Bob. I'm not sure I understand your meaning. These belts were indeed made by Gaunt and Hobsons, the Gaunt clasp being in white metal. Are you implying the clasp is not white metal or that it has possibly been 'plated' to give a brighter 'anodised' look? The pics are of mine which I wore in the '60s. These belts ceased to be worn in 1966.

That's what I'd been wondering, as it appears chromed rather tjan of anod. al. although I may be wrong.

Well I never! That's a new one on me. To my mind a clasp made from AA would not stand up to the daily wear and tear of use, especially if opening bottles! What you must have is a copy produced for the collector market, I can't think of any other reason.
