Below the line is smaller blue filled text "Oilfield Services Ltd." Below that is smaller raised text "LLOYDMINISTER". To the left of the buckle is the Clancy's logo, a vertical slightly raised rectangle with 6 vertically engraved lines filled with blue. In the centre of the lines are three C's stacked on top of each other, also filled in blue. Back Elements: The back has random scattered slash design. The hook has a bulbous end and the base looks like four small leaves. The hinge is an elongated trapezoid connected to the buckle at one point by a leaf texture. Between these elements is the makers mark on a slightly raised rectangle "AT" and " MADE IN CANADA". Old Description (Kelsey Dalrymple, 3 June 2020): Clancy's Oilfield Services Ltd. Lloydminster.
