Additional information from Buckles of Estes, March Currently, Hesston NFR buckles have been produced through In , Hesston produced a NFR buckle, and also a buckle for the 50th anniversary of Hesston equipment. In , Hesston produced the first youth Hesston buckle, which came with a belt. Youth buckles have been produced every year since.

As you have just read, the 74 Hesston buckle was a promotional give-a-way to advertise Hesston farm equipment and was available only to a select group of people.

At that time little value was placed on the buckle and I would venture to guess that today, 26 years later, the majority of the buckles produced no longer exist. Who knew that this was the first buckle of perhaps the most collectable buckle series ever produced! As the Hesston NFR buckle series became more and more popular over the next several years, collectors discovered they did not have the first 74 buckle.

Hence the following article, also from the May 95 issue of The Voice. BOE About the same time I received the request for an article about the History of Hesston buckles, I was talking with a gentleman by phone from out of State and he asked "do you know if there really are any fake Hesston's"? The answer is yes. A special thanks to Bob Brandley who wrote this article that appeared in the Buckle Buddies Magazine and to Jan Rath Jewah for permission to reprint it.

I personally have knowingly seen 2 fake Hesston's. The 2 that I saw are slightly smaller and the color and texture were a little different. The fake 74's and 75's seemed to show up about the mid 80's.

Do you own a set of Hesston National Final Rodeo buckles? Have you seen the FAKE or 's? You might check out yours for the 'Real McCoy' as several fakes are out there looking for a home! There are clear colored ones but most have a little to several dark spots on them.

The curve is more sharply indented than any fake I've seen. The curve is near flat and detail not as sharp as the real So watch out for these and those who make them! This is considered a good "average sized" buckle for either men or women.
