HERE IS A TRUE ANTIQUE MASONIC BELT BUCKLE.  ITS SIGNED "HICKOK, STERLING DEPOSIT" (I DON'T RECALL EVER SEEING THAT MARK, BEFORE THIS ONE).  THE FACE HAS A SHRINER'S SCIMITAR SWORD/MOON/STAR SYMBOL AND HAS VERY SMALL WORDS ABOVE THAT, WHICH READ "IMPERIAL COUNCIL" AND WITH "INDIANAPOLIS 1919" BELOW THAT SYMBOL (ALSO VERY TINY WORDS).
IT DOESN'T SHOW A LOT OF WEAR OR AGING, WHICH IS AWESOME FOR A 97 YEAR OLD METAL BELT BUCKLE.  ITS IN VERY GOOD CONDITION, OVERALL.  THE TOTAL WEIGHT OF THE LOT IS 17.65 GRAMS.
PLEASE NOTE:  I AM NOT A JEWELER, OR ANY OTHER TYPE OF GEM EXPERT, SO I CAN'T (AND DON'T TRY TO) ACCURATELY GRADE GEMS, OR TRY TO PERFECTLY SIZE THEM.  I WILL GIVE MY BEST EFFORT TO GIVE YOU MY "BEST GUESS" ON THESE TYPES OF THINGS, GIVEN MY OWN PERSONAL EXPERIENCES, BUT THEY ARE NOT GUARANTEES, AT ALL.  BUT, IF THERE ARE GEMSTONES IN THIS PARTICULAR LISTING, THEY HAVE BEEN ELECTRONICALLY TESTED, AND ARE GUARANTEED TO BE AS LISTED.  ALSO, I AM WEARING MY OWN WEDDING RING IN THESE PHOTOS, SO IF YOU ARE CONSIDERING A RING (OR RINGS) IN THIS LISTING, IT WILL BE FOR THE OTHER RING(S) SHOWN IN THE PHOTOS.  THANKS!
THE PICTURES ARE TO BE CONSIDERED AS PART OF THE DESCRIPTION
.  PLEASE REVIEW THEM FOR A BETTER IDEA OF VARIETY AND CONDITION, AND I WOULD BE HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS YOU MIGHT HAVE.  ENJOY!
SHIPPING WILL BE
.75
INSURED USPS FIRST CLASS, AND I WOULD BE MORE THAN WILLING TO COMBINE SHIPPING
.
I DON'T OFFER A RETURN POLICY, BUT, I WILL STAND BEHIND MY LISTINGS.  IF I MAKE A MISTAKE ON MY LISTING, OR I MISUNDERSTAND AN ITEM OR MISS A RELEVANT FLAW ON THE ITEMS UP FOR BID, I WILL DO ANYTHING IN MY POWER TO MAKE THINGS RIGHT FOR THE BUYER, SO BID WITH CONFIDENCE!!!
THANKS FOR LOOKING!
