Description

Oval metal belt buckle, branded to Elk Point Oilmens Association. Features: Oval, cast metal belt buckle (with points of left-aligned square breaking the silhouette), finished in antique-copper, and bearing drop imagery and text. Buckle is curved. Front Design: An oval belt buckle, with the corners of a raised square to the left, breaking the silhouette of the oval. A 2mm border runs around the outside of the oval. Inside the border are raised sections at the top and bottom shaped like ribbons, and a sunken band horizontally through the center (raised dot texture). To the left, overlapping the outer border is a raised square (also with 2mm border) inside of which are three overlapping drop shapes. Within the sunken band is the raised text "ELK POINT OILMENS ASSOCIATION". Back Design: Smooth back, with trapezoidal hinge and broken hook. The base of the hinge is a hexagonal prism. The top of the hook has snapped off and is missing. No maker's mark or other additional elements. Old Description (Kelsey Dalrymple, 6 March 2020): Elk Point Oilmens Association. Oval copper belt buckle. Three oil drops in square on left.
