Vintage Western Tooled Leather Ranger Belt with Shell Inlay Buckle Set - This Ranger-style belt is constructed from brown leather featuring hand-tooled floral and scrollwork motifs throughout the body. The piece is fitted with a decorative four-piece buckle set consisting of a buckle, two matching keepers, and a pointed metal tip. The silver-toned metal hardware is decorated with iridescent shell inlays, likely abalone or mother-of-pearl. The buckle is secured to the belt strap with two brown-finished snaps. The interior suede surface of the leather is marked with handwritten characters reading 42. Size: 42 Total length: approximately 43.5 inches Width: approximately 1.5 inches (main body). The belt is in good vintage condition with visible signs of age and previous use.

Metal components exhibit fine surface scratches and minor oxidation consistent with handling. One snap on the reverse shows significant loss of the brown finish. The shell inlays appear intact.
