This buckle truly aspires to move into the American-Pride Collection. Can you imagine something more American or Patriotic, than a full eagle head belt buckle?
Made by the Siskiyou Buckle Co. in 1987, the back has a slightly raised plaque that reads:
"The eagle is one of the largest and most powerful birds in the world. The largest eagles are the golden and bald eagles, which weigh as much as fourteen pounds and may have a wing span of over seven feet!"
A great way to show your patriotism and love for this magnificent bird! Would also make a great gift for the eagle enthusiast or vintage buckle collector in your life!Here are a few more lesser-known facts:
* Bald Eagles were responsible for building the largest tree-nest ever recorded for any animal species; up to 13 feet deep, 8.2 feet wide!
* The Bald Eagle is both the national bird and national animal of the United States of America (USA)
* While Benjamin Franklin was not a huge fan of the Bald Eagle he did not, contrary to legend, endorse the Wild Turkey instead.
