Friend of mine found this old belt buckle in their father’s estate- can’t ask where it came from. Looks hand cast or something, but I wonder if someone made and sold them at rallies a bunch of years ago? Anyone recognize it?IMG_3984.webpIMG_3984.webp

There were a number of different versions of GMC Motorhome belt buckles and there's at least one new one still available for purchase.

Christo might be interested in this one:

Last page of Part One of Bill Bryant's terrific write up for the FMCA magazine has a photo of one of his, he has/had several.

One version of the buckle was made by the now out-of-business company 'Anacortes Brass Works'. I know the owner and he may have the mold.
