About Me'Team items' like this buckle were often produced for the platform crews, some being made on the installations themselves. Crews were immensely proud of their installations and the work going on there. In the early years of the North Sea activity all things from the USA were popular both among the crews and the people of Aberdeen.

Among the US members in the business such items such as this were almost essential wear.
