Here is a leather kidney belt that I found late this past year. Attached to it was a badge from the 1953 Gypsy Tour. So I believe this would be from the 1940's to early 1950's. I posted the belt here and the badge seperately. For any motorcycle enthusiasts out there I am sure you will enjoy both these posts. Thank you for looking my friends and have a blessed evening and week ahead..... : )
