Measuring approx. 5 1/4" wide x 2 1/4" tall, the buckle is composed completely of bakelite except for the metal head. The bead strange measures approx. 20.5" long.

As you can see, the face has some wear/ discoloration. I was afraid to try to polish it.

Both the black and green test positive using both the simichrome and smell tests.

The face is actually attached to black piece using a stud whereas the green bakelite pieces are screwed on.

I have constructed a bakelite bead necklace (for those of us who would not be caught dead wearing a belt)from an old string of beads. By placing a hook on each end, it can be hooked to the buckle and worn as a necklace. By doing this way, it will not hurt the integrity of the buckle or change it in any way.

Really a fantastic piece of bakelite.
