GREEN & BLACK FLAPPER ERA BELT

GREEN AND BLACK FLAPPER ERA BELT
Over the years I have been to many house sales,
antique stores, flea markets and garage sales.
I have never in all that time, seen anything like
this belt. The belt is made of metal with the
exception of the green rectangles. The green
rectangles have filigree metal work pieces
attached to them. My guess on its age is
Circa 1925.
