Description

A bulged rectangle belt buckle, branded to Avenge (Cyanamid). Features: A bulged rectangle (rounded left and right sides), cast metal (likely brass) belt buckle, finished in antique-bronze. The buckle is lightly curved. Front Design: A 3.5mm border around the edge of the buckle, with the recessed interior space having a tiny triangle-stamp texture. In the upper and middle of the buckle is a raised, front-on image of an agricultural sprayer and tractor. On the front of the tractor is the text "VERSATILE". At the bottom of the buckle, below the tractor and sprayer is the large text "Avenge", with the Cyanamid icon and text logos below. Back Elements: The back has a texture of raised, scattered dashes. The hook (curved) and the hinge (rectangular with indented outer corners) are connected with a raised section. On the raised section is the maker's mark "Century CANADA".
