Description: Gorgeous and very rare early 20th century vintage* Mexico sterling silver repoussé belt. The hallmarking indicates that this belt was made prior to 1948 when the government of Mexico began requiring the eagle assay mark on Mexican made sterling silver items, a system which lasted until approximately 1970 when it was replaced by the initial and number system still in place today. This particular hallmark and the style of the belt suggests to me that it was probably made in the 1930s. Very good overall condition with a few dints that I've tried to show in photos, and which are usually seen in pieces of this type from this era. The belt consists of 25 oval dome with bead border repoussé cabochon sections and one larger repoussé floral buckle section. The inside circumference of this belt is 28-1/2 inches (72.4 cm). Keep in mind that a metal belt like this has absolutely no give. The person wearing it has to have a waist several inches smaller than the inside circumference for the belt to fit properly. This belt is part of what had been a set which I am breaking up and selling as separate pieces. The set also includes a bracelet and screw back earrings ~ Inside Circumference when buckled: 28-1/2" (72.4 cm)~ Buckle Width: Slightly over 2" (5.2 cm)~ Width throughout rest of belt: 1-1/8" (2.9 cm)~ Weight: 100 grams~ Marks: SILVER MEXICO *Vintage and/or antique merchandise may have some degree of visible wear and/or patina.
