The Howling (1981)

How do I find information on an old belt buckle,copyright 1981? I went on manifactors website no help there?

It is 3″x2″ with a wolf howling at a full moon in a starry sky. with a couple of cacti,and a steer skull on the front. On the back it has a
copyright mark and 1981. an eagle with the words “the great american buckle company and a serial number H 517. it is heavy,maybe solid pewter.
thanks

You can contact the manufacturer via EMail and ask about the history of that buckle. I have done so in the past and they were quite helpful. The company is now known as Great American Products. They continue to make belt buckles, and a whole bunch of other pewter-based promotional products. Some of their early buckles may also have been made of lead rather than pewter. Here is a link to the ‘Contact Us’ page of their website:
