Boxing sponsored by drugs! There's a combination you're not likely to see too much of these days!
Seller claims it's from 1960 because there's a big 60 in the middle of it. That may be correct, but nothing indicates that it means the year 1960.
Seller's description:
This auction is for a 1960 Heaveyweight Boxing champion trophy belt buckle. Features a high relief image of two boxers in the ring. The word HEAVYWEIGHT and the year "60" appear to be in blue enamel. Also engraved on bottom front with the words "Bergen Drug Co., Inc. Hackensack, N. J."
The back of the buckle is has the makers mark of Dieges & Clust. Research indicates that Dieges and Clust made medallions and trophies for many sports including producing the Heisman Trophy of football fame.
Buckle measures approx. three inches wide by 2 1/4 inches tall. Has some price tag residue on back, I'll leave the decision on cleaning that to the next owner.

1960. I can believe that.
