1850's baseball players belt
Yes: This belt can also be a fireman's belt. Fireman had baseball teams and i believe it to be that. The #5 on the belt tells me that the player wore this number. Since most uniform didn't have numbers on them, they did have numbers on their belt. Legendary auction several years ago sold a similar belt also with a number on the belt that was identified as a fire dept baseball team. Thanks for all your information. In conclusion, this could have come from ct and not sc. Either way a great belt. I am in the process of buying a knickerbocker belt also from the same time period. Will keep you all posted.
