Vintage 1976 bicentennial belt buckle manufactured by Bergamot Brass Works in the USA.
This solid metal buckle (likely cast brass, the standard material used by Bergamot in the 1970s) features a bold raised‑relief design of a waving American flag with a coiled snake across the stripes.
The classic “DON’T TREAD ON ME” slogan is deeply embossed beneath the snake, and the upper right corner displays the commemorative years 1776–1976. A ring of raised stars frames the entire design, giving the piece a strong patriotic presence.
The back is marked with Bergamot Brass Works, with their logo and "Made in USA", E-24, and the production year, confirming authenticity.
The buckle measures approximately 3.25" wide × 2.25" high and weighs 6.7 ounces, giving it a substantial, quality feel.
A great collectible for Americana, Gadsden‑flag enthusiasts, or vintage buckle collectors.
