Belt Buckle Personally Owned by Rudolph Valentino

This is a belt buckle owned by Valentino, it was listed in the estate catalog and was believed to be used in the film, "The Son of the Sheik." This buckle sold at auction in 2008 for around $4,700, source: antiquetrader.com. I did a little research on the belt buckle from the film. When I think of his belt from the film, I think of the part where Jasmin (Vilma Banky) complains while they are making out that the belt is pushing into her side. Valentino takes it off, then when attacked he reaches for a knife from his belt, but it is not there. That particular belt buckle from the film is definitely not the one that sold at auction, not to say it is not from film, he did have various costumes so it could have appeared in another scene. Regardless, it did belong to Valentino and is a great piece.

Valentino's Personal Belt Buckle

This is one of Valentino's personal Belt Buckles. This is a silver belt buckle with the initials RV monogramed on the front. This sold a few years ago at Sotheby's auction house in New York. I am unsure what this sold for, but I am sure it was in the thousands. I would not mind having a few of these!

Belt Buckle

This is a random item, it is a belt buckle that I believe is from the 70's. On the back it reads: "Tiffany Studio, New York." I am sure these were massed produced; however, they are not very common.
