I find these celluloid or shell buckles all the time in junk stores. I always buy them because they're so pretty and I use them with scarves. I spotted this tutorial on how to make them into little frames at Martha Stewart. I'm not sure I'll do this but I love the image of the buckles and I'll definitely continue to collect them.
