eBay WTF of the day: Moving belt buckle

Filed under: Accessories, Clothing, Jeans, Men

Moving.Vintage Unusual Conquistador Moving SPUR Belt Buckle NR.

WTF? Here it is, at right:

"Moving." What does that mean? Does the little spur spin? No. This is an emotionally moving belt buckle.

Etched lovingly into the back:

the Conquistador
IN A TIME WHEN SPANISH CONQUERORS
REIGNED HIGH AND CONQUEST WAS
INEVITABLE, THE UNIQUENESS OF
THIS SPUR WAS SURPASSED ONLY BY
THE BRAVE AND DARING MEN WHO
WORE THEM.


Moved? I'm not. In my world, Conquistador is a tequila. Also, the inscription is in English...so this is for those people who are fascinated and moved by tales of Spanish invaders between the 15th and 19th centuries but not interested in the language.

I now have visions of dorky boys I knew in high school reading the back of this belt and wiping a single tear from their eye as they put on their pants, wracked with existential longing. What a very special belt buckle. Thanks, atwoods-attic.

No returns.
