    Description

    For your consideration I have listed a commemorative belt buckle and matching hat pin set which the American Motorcycle  Association offered beginning in October of 1986 in honor of the Golden Gate Bridge.  The belt buckle in this set bears the serial number 984.  The hat pin is not numbered.  This belt buckle and pin were manufactured by the Bergamot Fine Art Foundry of Delavan, Wisconsin.  The buckle is made of pewter with what appears to be brass or bronze embellishments.  Both the belt buckle and pin are brand new, come in their original black presentation cases and have never been taken out of their presentation cases except to be inspected when I first bought them from the AMA and then again when I photographed them for this listing.  The pin appears to be brass or bronze as well.  The buckle is 3" wide and 2 1/4" high.  It weighs approximately 11 ounces which has caused some wear on the box insert which holds the buckle in place.
    The Golden Gate Bridge Buckle is #984 of 1,200 made.  The matching hat pin bears no edition number and measures 3/4" wide and 1" tall. This buckle and pin set was made to commemorate the 1987 Fiftieth anniversary of the May 27, 1937 opening of the Golden Gate Bridge. Hap Jones' image is cast on the front of this buckle to commemorate the fact that he was the first motorcyclist to transverse the bridge on opening day and then 50 years later crossed it again by motorcycle during the anniversary celebration.
