[Flashback Friday] 5.16- Skull Buckle

Welcome to another addition of Flashback Friday.** This year the guest editors, Citizen Agent, Azurafae, and myself, Tatman, are taking turns reflecting on 17 of our personal favorite skulls from the previous four years of postings. So please join us as we visit the archives and add our additional commentary on some of the original pieces.

Skull Buckle



Like most red blooded men I have a strong attraction to crafted metal, especially in the form of belt buckles, and especially when they feature skulls. This beautiful buckle comes from the great John Winston. It's been a while since I've seen it, but it still makes quite the impression. Be sure to click here to see other buckles that have made their wade onto our site as well.


**Flashback Friday was a weekly countdown of the fan selected top 52 skulls of Skull-A-Day 1.0. Each week during year 3.0 The Skullmaster posted the original skull along with some additional commentary in order from lowest to highest rated, with the #1 skull appearing in the last week of year 3.0, all 52 can be found here.

Skull Belt Buckle

Mary Spencer in Tucson, AZ, co-owner of WATTO Distinctive Metal Wear submitted this photo. She explains, "We (my husband and I) make handmade metal accessories. We have a large selection of skull buckles. More of their work can be found in their Etsy Shop and on Facebook. 

I love hand made belt buckles. I like the contrast between the darker metal and the metal skulls. This style belt buckle always makes me think of westerns. It might be due to seeing a lot of them with tooled leather belts. I could see a bounty man wearing this to account for how many criminals he had captured...though only three skulls wouldn't make him the best man for the job.

Welded Buckle Skull

This killer belt buckle comes from Jody Collier. It's an all welded piece of art and you can even find out how to make one of your own right here.



I love personal, handmade art and jewelry. I sure hope your son wears this a lot. A handmade gift is always a treasure. Especially when it resembles it. Plus, we all know how many kids could use a good belt and buckle these days. Thanks, Jody!
