This is unique. Anyone know the story behind this DRR belt buckle?

I believe this Belt Buckle belonged to a Roundhouse Cast Member by the name of Ron Mason. The Buckles are produced by an expert machinist in the Monorail shop and each Cast Member is only given one. There are two finishes that I know of, Brass and Nickel. Eagle eyed guests and fans of the railroad can spot our operating engineers and some Mark Twain Cast Members walking around with them. There is a Monorail Cast Member Belt Buckle as well that looks like the original Monorail poster. Ron is no longer with us and I believe his estate and extensive railroad collection fell into someones hands.

I believe he wanted the collection given to his ex-wife. I don't believe she has any interest in railroadiana, so I bet you'll see more of his collection. Hopefully she knows someone trustworthy who can advise her on worth. His collection was massive and filled his entire home--and then some!
