Question: Belt Buckles
If a person came across a belt buckle that says on the front:
American Express Co.
Wells, Butterfield & Co.
American Express Co.
Wells, Butterfield & Co.
And on the back says:
rare stones, Tiffany, Broadway, New York
reward if returned by hand to 10 Wall Street, New York or 48 South 3rd
Street Philadelphia.
My question is can you tell me something about this item? It's worth?
Thanks for your information.

This belt buckle website may be of interest.
I have the same buckle as this except mine is Sterling Silver and It says "Richardson Sterling" on the belt bar on the back. I have never seen another one in Sterling. I have seen several brass ones. But never sterling. Does anybody else have this one in Sterling? Please reply. The connect website only mentions Brass. I believe mine is original and older than 1950, since my grandfather is the one that found it in the 1940's in a public landfill.
Does anyone have any information about a Tiffany belt buckle, front says American Express Co. Wells, Butterfield with a stage coach on back it says : reward if found & delivered to HG Burt ESQ Union Pacific Railroad CO Ohmaha, NEB. Property of American Express Co. , it also says on back Rare Stones Tiffany Broadway New York. Any information would be helpful! Thank You.
Also see the Bogus Buckles website: "Dedicated to Ending the Tiffany, A.J. Nash, Anson Mills, E. Gaylord Belt Buckle and Button Scam."

stop telling people to go that website! it has no info, garbage. Nothing at all about the WF717 SYNEK NYC belt. All I want to know is, how old the buckle may be, if its legit vintage, and a possible price for it. and nothing online provides this info. Somebody out the there has to have some answers,..or i suppose I'll just go to antiques road show next time they roll through town.
Mine says the exact same thing
