Cassette tape belt buckle

Before digital downloads came along, before anyone knew what a CD was, back when we needed something portable that was more rugged and sounded better than an eight-track cartridge, we had cassette tapes.

That was a long time ago. If you were around in the day, you can now wear your heritage proud with this cassette-shaped belt buckle.

This buckle is about 4 inches by 2 inches and sells for $14.95 at The Belt Buckle Shop. Like most of the 700 belt buckles sold by the Texas-based Internet retailer, this one is made of pewter and won't rust or tarnish.

The Belt Buckle Shop has a tool on its website that allows you to customize a belt buckle with your own photo or text.

The retailer does offer quantity discounts. Shipping is free for orders of more than $50.
