Henry Vogt Brass Belt Buckle

This is a vintage oval-shaped commemorative belt buckle manufactured for Henry Vogt Machine Co. The buckle is constructed from solid brass with a deep, antique-style patina that enhances its raised relief detailing. The front face features the 'Vogt' company logo in a stylized serif font at the top. Below the branding is a detailed industrial scene depicting various elements of the company's heritage, including a heavy-duty industrial valve, a factory building silhouette, and a worker engaged in welding or grinding a large gear or wheel. The craftsmanship shows high-quality die-casting with sharp, distinct lines in the machinery and human figure. Measuring approximately 3 to 4 inches in width, the buckle appears to be in excellent, New-Old-Stock (NOS) condition, as it remains sealed in its original clear protective plastic film. There are no signs of surface scratches, oxidation, or mechanical wear to the rear loop and pin. This piece likely dates from the late 1970s to early 1990s, serving as a promotional item or employee recognition gift for the renowned Louisville-based manufacturer. The solid weight and crisp iconography indicate premium corporate merchandising typical of that era.
