  • Bucklepage 9 – Part Nine 17Th-18Th Century
    Home C J’s Metal detecting pages Coin galleries BUCKLES BUCKLEPAGE 05/09/2013 BY NMS Having already looked at some buckle types of the 17th century we again start in that period but with buckles that are technically of a different form of construction. These are distinguished from all other types by having a double-loop frame (as Types IIIA-IIID) but with the frame drilled to take a separate pin or spindle. These I have classified as Type V. They were generally made to be removable and so the previously common ‘sandwich’ type buckle-plate used for attachment to straps and belts is replaced by a chape that attaches the buckle by a stud, a hook, or a spike. When used for the shoe these buckles were attached across the instep by two straps called latchets. The buckle was attached to one latchet by the chape. The second latchet was then pulled through the buckle frame to the required tension for securing the shoe and then fastened by the spike of the tongue. See fig.9: xix for the terms used to describe the parts of these buckles. Strictly speaking the chape constitutes all the moving parts within the buckle frame but the term is used here to describe the type of fastening employed to attach the buckle to the shoe. Although shoe buckles had been used in previous times, by the late 1500′s they had been replaced by rosettes and ribbon ties and these continued in use through most of the 17thc. However it is clear that by 1660 buckles were again being used for fastening shoes, at least by the upper classes, and that they were of this removable type: ‘This day I began to put on buckles to my shoes’ - the diary of Samuel Pepys – entry for January 22nd, 1660.
