FIRST PHASE SILVER CONCHO BELT

The First Phase silver concho belt is a remarkable piece that exudes elegance and craftsmanship. Upon close examination, each component reveals intricate stamping and border holes characteristic of older belt styles. The surface of each piece reflects the traditional method of forming silver sheets from ingots, showcasing a time-honored technique. Despite its relatively smaller size compared to early belts, this piece stands out for its meticulous execution and attention to detail.

​

Noteworthy are the copper strips' joining and the buckle bar, which exhibit signs of "forge soldering," a technique prevalent in the early 1900s before modern soldering materials became widespread. This historical insight adds to the belt's allure, highlighting the craftsmanship and techniques employed during that era, making it a valuable and distinctive addition to any collection.
