Salvations Army relics?

[Angela (Australia)]

Hello I was wondering if someone may be able to help me with a site that features some of these old relics. I believe that they are all Salvation Army relics of the 1800's, also the age of the two sites I found them from. I think it's my first time posting here. I appreciate any replies and comments.
Cheers Angela

Hi Angela...Those are some awesome finds! I'm including a link that will take you to a collectors site. He has a lot of history and other interesting information on the Salvation Army. I will bet he or other collectors there will be able to help you out. You might also try Ebay and see what Salvation Army memorabilia might be selling. Good luck...Mike

Are the same style beltbuckle as Imported from England during the Civil War. The snake would have been in the middle with hooks on each end for the belt to be hooked too. That being said they are still being used today in Canada so they are pretty hard to date but its always better if they're dug.

Heres a link to a reproduction set on Ebay....
