The WarBird 9 #1 Posted August 28, 2022 Does anyone know what this is worth and possibly a year range it was made. Looks older but not sure. Thanks! 1 2 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The Freightliner Guy 1,327 #4 Posted August 28, 2022 Wow cool that’s something you wouldn’t think would end up there do you have a wheel horse to go with it Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
stevasaurus 22,742 #5 Posted August 28, 2022 I've seen a bunch of them through the years. They are rare, in that not everyone has one, but it is certainly collectable. I think you did good at $20...not sure what the top end might be. Nice find !! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jeff-C175 7,202 #6 Posted August 28, 2022 Looks like 'pot metal' construction? Wonder why not brass/bronze? Wouldn't chip like that one has. Guess the bean counters were at work. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

stevasaurus 22,742 #9 Posted August 28, 2022 Not to go at Jeff, but these were dealer promotions. It really doesn't matter it they are Gold or Pot Metal...they are collectable. I know some of the members have these, let's see what they have to say. I'm guessing $50, but that is a guess. It is still a Nice Find. I think Jeff wants it. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
stevasaurus 22,742 #10 Posted August 28, 2022 Collectable stuff for Garden Tractors actually goes the gambit. Matchbooks, tie clasps, model semi-trailers, plastic replicas of RJ's, flags, pennants, cigarette lighters, radios...you name it...this stuff is out there. Wait and see who comes in here to validate what you found. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

c-series don 8,708 #13 Posted August 28, 2022 Well it looks like mine originally sold for $7.59 I’m not sure what I paid for it because it was so long ago. I don’t even remember where I got it from? I just know it was a long time ago and they came out in the mid eighties with the maroon stripe tractors. If you notice the color scheme is the same. I wear my very rarely and put it back in the package when I’m done. I’d have to say they are worth around $50 bucks today. Not sure how many are around, but mine is NFS!! 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
troutbum70 857 #14 Posted August 28, 2022 I have the same buckle have had it for many years, don't have the original package so no idea what I paid. As stated earlier not for sale. Have on my belt right now, where when we go out to fancy places. Makes wife mad because I wear a stupid buckle like that hi hi. 1 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rjg854 11,367 #15 Posted August 28, 2022 I don't exactly remember, but I think I paid around $25 for the one I have and I wear quite often. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

D_Mac 8,619 #22 Posted August 31, 2022 I have one I got for $ 2.00 it's missing the loop on the back to hold the belt though. When I bought it I planned on making one for it but never did. Nothing I own is NFS except my dog Jeffrey. Not sure where I put it but I know I have one. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
