Skateboard Acrobat IV


One more entry for the Skateboard Acrobats, a line of bendy figures from the late '70s by Imperial. This rabbit was made in 1979 and has a bit different face than the similar Action Animal rabbit. Previous acrobats include mouse, cat, & dog.

Hobie Belt Buckle

Was very happy to grab this Hobie belt buckle! I've seen one that says "skateboards, surfboards, catamarans" underneath which I've been searching for but definitely stoked on this one. No date but was made by Dynabuckle out of Provo, UT.

Belt Buckle XXVII


This Skate Boarding belt buckle seems to be the plainest buckle you can get to express your interest in skateboarding, and I love it. The buckle was made by BTS in the USA in 1978 and I've found 2 versions of it.

Belt Buckle XXVI


The 2nd of 2 silhouette skateboarder vintage belt buckles, this one was made in the USA in 1978 by BTS. It's one of 2 silhouette skaters I've seen - the other I found a non-silhouette version of the same one so hoping to track down a similar one for this guy.

Belt Buckle XXV

The first of 2 silhouette vintage belt buckles to be featured here on BPA. This one has an image that was previously featured in full rather than just silhouette. The buckles is most likely from the '70s although there is no date on the back.

Philadelphia Skateboard Park Belt Buckle


Philadelphia Skateboard Park (PSP) vintage belt buckle circa 1978. No markings on this one but it looks like the park was open in the late '70s and presumably closed shortly thereafter.

Belt Buckle XXIII


Not much to go on here - not even sure if this one is vintage. The back says NB pewter and thus ends any info I have on it.
