round, with Palmetto and two ovals, evocative of South Carolina State Seal, marked "1776", diameter 2-1/2 in.; rectangular, with eagle grasping arrows and olive branch, surrounded by 13 stars, possible military issue, 2-1/4 x 3-1/4 in.ÿ - Note: The round piece offered here, ostensibly a buckle, is similar to an object sold by Cowan's on October 31, 2018 as Lot #812, "A Rare and Beautiful South Carolina Cartridge Box Plate." That single item lot realized $5,288. There are subtle visual variances between the two seemingly identical discs, most noticeable at the logotype of the date.ÿ - Provenance: From the Collection of Ashley Halsey, Jr., Alexandria and Spotsylvania, Virginia
