Author	Topic: Swedish buckle
Hose_dk Posts: 400 Registered: May 2008	posted 05-27-2009 12:49 PM Swedish buckle from 1834 made by Johan Ludvig Klint in Norrt�lje - sweden. Then it becomes interesting initials SMD where D refers to a woman Dotter daughter in Swedish. But in that period/place a woman using a belt ? that is questionable. And even more as it is silver. Used for a belt - my idea. but shoes or hat ornament - any ideas? Anyhow used/made 175 years ago - we fell the history. It is not the value or the show-off effect that we require, just simple and plain history. IP: Logged
Polly Posts: 1970 Registered: Nov 2004	posted 05-27-2009 01:19 PM I don't know about Swedish fashions, but I have seen many paintings of women in the 1830s wearing dresses with wide shoulders, wide skirt,s and narrow waists cinched with wide, buckled belts. Here are examples from Wikipedia: IP: Logged

Hose_dk Posts: 400 Registered: May 2008	posted 05-27-2009 02:31 PM yes that is a good idea. Better than hat or shoes. Much better. Also the fact that it is sharp and the mechanism is able to stick. IP: Logged
Dale Posts: 2132 Registered: Nov 2002	posted 05-29-2009 12:17 AM There used to be some sort of strap that nursing mothers wore to support their breasts. I've seen references to it but do not understand the exact mechanics. This might have been used for that purpose. IP: Logged
