This buckle frame and snap were recovered from the Havana Stage Station site along the Santa Fe trail in Osage County. It is unclear if they were used on a draft animal harness or for clothing. The front of the snap has faint, unreadable lettering. The Havana Stage Station was built in 1858 and was used as a farmstead after the station was closed. The site was a focus of the Kansas Archeology Training Program field school in 1995.
