This vintage Mare Island Naval Shipyard belt buckle honors one of the most historic naval facilities in the United States. Cast from 100% solid brass by TBW Industries (The Buckle Works) of Los Gatos, California, this heavy rectangular buckle features the classic Mare Island Naval Shipyard insignia in bold relief against a textured background.
Meticulously crafted using a seven-step finishing process and hand-polished to a brilliant luster, this buckle was made to last — a true example of late 20th-century American brass craftsmanship. It comes complete with its original factory paperwork detailing the care and production process, making it a rare find for collectors of naval or military memorabilia.
