An original manufacturer's sample card containing 6 children's animal shaped belt buckles. There are 3 different designs, hippo, owl and elephant, each in 2 colours.
Very good to see a complete display card.
They were made by W N Gutteridge Ltd of Leicester and presumably these were shown to haberdashery shops etc so that they could place their orders.
The sizes vary between each design but are approx 40 x 30mm and 6mm thick. The backing card is 245 x 200mm.
They have 'lugs' on each side so they can be fixed to the belt. I have not removed any of them from the card to see how they work.
There is nothing to give an age but looking at the condition of the card and the deterioration of the Sellotape on the back I would estimate that they are from the 1980's but could be older.
The buckles themselves are in 'as new' condition but there is some damage to the backing card.
Please note. I do my best to accurately photograph and describe the condition of the items for sale, including any minor defects but all pieces are vintage and have had previous lives and so may have minor flaws.
