The raised HOWDY marking on the buckle face identifies it as a Howdy-branded piece. Howdy produced or marketed Western-style belt buckles and accessories, including decorative and coin-mounted designs. Publicly available historical information about the company appears limited, and the buckle does not show a model number, copyright date or manufacturing location.
The coin was designed by U.S. Mint Chief Engraver Frank Gasparro. The reverse was adapted from the Apollo 11 mission emblem.
Country of Manufacture
Coin: United States
Buckle: Unknown
The presence of the Howdy brand does not, by itself, establish the buckle’s country of manufacture. Unless another stamp is found, use Country/Region of Manufacture: Unknown rather than assuming it was made in the United States.
Release Date and Estimated Age
The Eisenhower dollar was issued in 1971, so the buckle could not have been manufactured before that year.
Based on its Western styling, cast construction and antiqued finish, the buckle most likely dates from the 1970s to early 1980s.
Estimated age: approximately 45–55 years old.
