Expanso Vintage Brown Alligator Belt Brass Buckle Mens 38 1 in

Vintage brown alligator, 1 inch wide belt line with cowhide leather by Expanso in men's size 38. Classic, simple brass buckle. Five post holes. Style # 0571. The patent was applied for in 1945 and approved in 1947 by Francis John Bayliss. Some similar belts have been listed as being from the 60s. I can't seem to find anything about the Expanso company so I'm not exactly sure of the age of the belt. Overall it is In great pre-owned condition with some signs of wear from normal use.
