Buffalo Nickel Belt

A pair of genuine buffalo nickels distinguishes this handsome brown leather belt. Worn from years of handling, one nickel displays the standing buffalo; the other showcases the Native American silhouette. The buffalo nickel, designed by James Earle Fraser, was introduced in 1913. Fraser used three different Native Americans as models and based the buffalo on Black Diamond, who lived in the New York City Zoo. Braided inlays. Engraved silver buckle. Rawhide stitching. Men's leather belt in brown. 1¼" strap width tapers to 1". ImportedMen's even waist belt sizes: 32-46. Order one size larger than pants size.

"really nice product appears to be made exactly as described. Nice finishes and weighjt to product. I agree with one review that buckle could be a little more heavy duty but I think this will give me many years of quality service and looks great."

Leather Split,
January 20, 2013
By: Darby123
from St. Paul, Minnesota
"In terms of appearance, I liked the belt very much. Yet, the leather did not come finished and the strap portion actually split--similar to if one crushed and bent a pop can in the middle, and then articuilated it back and forth until it broke. The only thing that's holding it together is an exterior skin. I did not wear it constantly and for the money, it should have worn better."

"My husband received this for Christmas and didn't tell me he had wanted it for two years! This year he actually gave me some suggestions. He loves it and thinks the Buffalo nickel is very cool as we grew up collecting them when we were little. Thank you for a fun gift and belt!"

"Very nice belt with the exception of the buckle. Given the quality of the rest of the belt, the buckle could be a bit more refined."

Great Belt But,
January 1, 2013
By: E63III
from San Francisco Bay Area, CA
"The Buffalo Nickel Belt is an excellent buy and handsome belt. However, we owned one from a previous purchase and it had more buffalo nickels on it. In between each embroidered part there was a buffalo nickel. We purchased the belt for a coin collector and more buffalo nickels on it would have been even better."

Brother's Dream Belt,
December 29, 2012
By: Suzanne
from East Texas
"My brother, who is a major history buff and cowboy to boot, was tickled pink on Christmas morning when he opened the Buffalo Nickel Belt. He couldn't wait to show it off to his cowboy buddies. He also loved the historic detail of the buffalo nickel. Very sentimental, as he once upon a time collected buffalo nickels."
