Any Clemson Historians out there?


Aug 17, 2020, 9:34 AM

Got this as a gift from my in-laws this weekend. Anyone know anything else about these?



Looks to be part of Clemson Cadet Uniform. My grandfather (Clemson Class of '48) says it predates his time.

The manufacturer on the back is "Wm C Rowland 1024 Race St. Phila. PA." Grandfather says their uniforms (and Citadel Cadets) were all made in Philadelphia.

Anyone know anything else about when and what this may have been from?

W C Rowland was a company that made swords for military cadets. They very likely could have made this buckle. Their swords show up at times at auctions or flea markets and are big sellers for collectors.

Probably a belt buckle.

1948-1952 - we wore a blouse with a belt made from the same material with a simple open-face buckle.

Hit that leather with some Lexol, and you will be amazed.
