Officer's Dress Belt by The Lilley Co

Description

5/19/25 - This is an original early 20th century ceremonial officer's dress belt manufactured by The Lilley Co. of Columbus, Ohio. The belt features a wide metallic brocade band with a red leather backing and accents, along with brass hardware and an ornate, gold-tone buckle depicting an eagle with laurel and oak leaves. The interior is clearly stamped “Made by The Lilley Co, Columbus Ohio.” The belt is in great overall condition, showing light age-related wear to the brocade and some patina to the metal fittings. It’s a fine example of American fraternal or ceremonial regalia, suitable for collectors of vintage uniforms or militaria.
