10K gold patriotic belt buckle, including securing mechanism. 1.625 x 2.5 in. (41 x 64mm) 17g (11.5 dwt). Top features patriotic eagle flanked on each side by two American flags, bottom with an eagle above a patriotic shield, with bayonets, instruments, and cannon at its back, and personifications of Liberty and Justice at each side. Floral and scroll designs throughout. Reverse side with engraved initials, "J.E.K." Three-prong securing mechanism, unmarked, but possibly produced by W. Cummings, ca 1868, based on strikingly similar example sold in these rooms as Lot 372, American History Auction, November 15, 2013.
Although not marked, the piece very closely resembles several pieces made by the California Jewelry Company, which was located on Sutter Street in San Francisco, CA, ca 1870-1878.
