Vintage Bronze ZEBCO 33RD ANNIVERSARY BELT BUCKLE 1.5"

Vintage Bronze ZEBCO 33RD ANNIVERSARY BELT BUCKLE 1.5" - eBay (item 310077290615 end time Aug-26-08 19:20:21 PDT)

This vintage belt buckle is an embossed heavy metal with a fisherman and a big 3-D fish on each side of a big "33." I'm guessing it's brass or bronze. The front says, "33rd Anniversary 1955-1988 Zebco 33 Limited Edition.

There's a hook and loop for a 1 1/2-inch belt on the back and an eagle emblem that says, "The Great American Buckle Co., U.S.A." The fine print panel says:
Since 1955, over 22 million Zebco 33 reels have been sold to countless anglers who've enjoyed fishing this American standard. Our 33rd anniversary buckle celebrates the legend of "America's Reels."
There's a fancy design on the loop-holder and the words, "Made in U.S.A." along one side.

This belt buckle is very heavy, very 3-D, very well made and built to last. Would you or one of your angling buddies enjoy wearing it?

Vintage Silvery 3-D Horse BUCKING BRONCO BELT BUCKLE 2"

Vintage Silvery 3-D Horse BUCKING BRONCO BELT BUCKLE 2" - eBay (item 310077278198 end time Aug-26-08 18:25:05 PDT)

This vintage belt buckle is an embossed silvery lightweight background metal with a much thicker metal bucking bronco centered on the front. There's a hook and loop for a 2-inch belt on the back. No maker's mark.

The silvery horse has black detailing and is wearing a black saddle and bridle. No rider. Wonder why? Ha!

Would this be a great first rodeo buckle for some young horse-loving rodeo-rider wannabe that you know?
