Try to get more details from the seller on how he/she acquired it and any additional background such as location....I previously recall seeing this in one of my online searches and vaguely recall it being from somewhere out West? I'm curious as to why/how they date this item to 1860-1870. This belt is unlike the other belts which I have seen(dual use fire/baseball) and has a more folk art feel to it although the detail on the lettering is quite intricate. It has age to it but I'd be cautious about shelling out $1k + without more details.
