Description: | Fragment of a cast copper alloy sub-square hat buckle with a drilled frame for a separate spindle. This is the side of the frame with the drilled spindle hole with seven moulded transverse grooves over the hole, and slightly bevelled and narrowed edges on the internal corners of the frame. Part of the iron spindle has corroded in the hole, leaving iron oxide on the surface of one side. The spindle would most probably have been fitted with a stud chape with multiple tongues in order to fix them to the light fabric of the hat.Whitehead (1996) illustrates a similar example on page 113, No.730, which is dated to c.1720s-1790s.
