SOUTH CAROLINA RECTANGULAR CONFEDERATE PLATE
Recently acquired excavated South Carolina rectangular sword belt plate circa 1840. As you can tell from the photos this plate has a heavy patina and has not been out of the ground long. The twelve spears at the base of the palmetto tree represent South Carolina’s sister colonies while the fallen oak represents the mother country, England. This buckle is pictured as Plate 346 in Steve Mullinax's book (First Edition). Of the South Carolina panel plates you see the other type panel plate (one that looks like the round shoulder plate) fairly routinely but you hardly ever see this one offered for sale.
