Horseshoe Nail Buckle




At first glance, the belt buckle above may appear as nothing more than a unique design. But the significance is that this entire buckle is created from bending horseshoe nails into the shape you see here. The original design with the nails was then used to create a mold incorporating the elements of the buckle, and since then it has been cast in the form that shown above. The design was copyrighted by Bergamot Brass Works Inc in 1974. This design ($18) and hundreds of others are available for sale athttp://www.allamericanbuckles.com! Get a great deal by entering promo code: “USA” for 10% off of everything site wide, and as always, shipping is free!

Extra! Read All About It!

A local publication, “The Beacon – A Paper Designed with Readers in Mind”, published an outstanding article about Bergamot – The Fine Art Foundry, who manufactures All American Buckles. The article showcased some of our buckles, as well as a few of the thousands of buckles that have been produced by Bergamot over the past 44 years. The primary focus is the impact that Bergamot has had on the Walworth County community through out the past few decades, in millions of dollars of wages, purchasing supplies from other local companies, as well as the artistry of the thousands of unique metal castings. If you would like to read the article in its entirety online, you can download a free copy from the paper’s archives from November 21, 2014 here.
