This is an original GOSS 100 Years commemorative belt buckle, issued to celebrate 100 years of Goss International (1885–1985)—a major milestone in the history of the printing and graphic arts industry.
The buckle features a raised central emblem with the dates 1885–1985 and the GOSS corporate values “Quality · Integrity · Performance.” The reverse is stamped “Baker,” indicating manufacture by Baker, a known producer of high-quality commemorative and industrial belt buckles.
Approximate size:
~3\" wide (see tape-measure photos for reference)
Provenance
This buckle comes from the personal estate of my late father, who served as an executive with Goss, a division of Rockwell International. Items from this collection were acquired directly through corporate channels rather than retail sale, adding to their authenticity and historical significance.
