Description

Brass belt buckle with a clear resin cabochon over print. Branded to the CVS Controls Ltd, 10 years, paired with vinery and derrick imagery. Features: An elongated rectangular solid brass belt buckle with rounded corners, and a clear resin cabochon over the central elements. The buckle is flat. Front Design: The buckle has a broad rim of brass (3mm wide at the top and bottom; 8mm wide on the sides) around the cabochon-covered central content. All corners are rounded. In the central area is a black fill with gold foil detailing of 'CVS logo', a derrick, two vine leaves, small text to the right of buckle "10 yrs." and along the top and bottom "CVS Controls ltd.". The cabochon is clear, likely made of resin. Cabochon does not fill the entire space, leaving some gaps around the edges. Back Elements: The back has a rough dappled texture, with an open hexagonal hinge and ball-tipped hook. The hinge is attached at two points without joining between the points (a round point in this space, potentially from the casting process. Between the hinge and hook is the raised text "SOLID BRASS; F-08B". Old Description (Kelsey Dalrymple, 3 June 2020): CVS Controls Ltd. 10 Years. Brass belt buckle with black enamel face. Rig on left. Laurel leaves either side. F-08B
