It's happened I'VE RETIRED.

However, I will continue to produce belt buckles part-time on a mail order-only basis (part of retirement meant moving to a more affordable location and I currently live in Ashland OR). Please plan ahead as availability is very limited.  See 'In Stock' pages on menu bar for what is available.

My schedule varies seasonally so I can't accommodate deadline dates. I'm currently booked for special orders until February 2026, however I will be adding to stock items as I make them.

Metals prices are going through the roof and I will hold these prices as long as supplies last.

These are items in stock available now; BELT BUCKLES and OTHER JEWELRY

For the time being Local's discount is suspended due to volatile metals prices.

2024 was our 75th Anniversary!!! And my personal 40th anniversary making belt buckles since 1984.

NEW service I'll be re-selling used items for clients at a lower cost to the public. They will be posted as I have them available in the 'Buckles/Jewelry in Stock' pages.

Thank you all for your loyal support and patronage, it’s been a pleasure.
