The collection also includes a vintage Boys’ Brigade uniform belt, made of dark brown leather with a two-part interlocking brass buckle embossed with the text THE BOYS’ BRIGADE. There is an olive drab military web utility belt, designed with three rows of metal eyelets and two metal sliding keepers. The final item is a brown leather belt with stamped geometric tooling and a white-metal buckle in the form of a soaring eagle with outstretched wings. A wooden ruler is visible in the background showing centimetre markings between 19 and 23.
