Our expert's notes

A crew gift belt buckle from Steven Spielberg's Academy Award-winning thriller Jaws. A local Martha's Vineyard jeweler, Thaddeus McDowell, started making shark belt buckles during the shooting of the film. The production bought up a number of them and distributed them to the crew.

Made in 1974, this brass belt buckle is sculpted as a profile view of a stylized shark with its mouth open revealing many pointed teeth. It has a ball-ended hook on the backside for securing it to the holes in a belt. On the tail of the shark is a long metal bar for attaching the buckle to the end of a belt. Currently, the buckle is attached to a brown leather belt. Etched into the back of the belt is "1974" and "Thad McDowell". There are some scratches to the finish of the leather belt, minimal green tarnish on the brass elements, and minor wear and discolouration to the buckle itself. Dimensions: (buckle): 12.75 cm x 5.25 cm x 2.75 cm (5" x 2" x 1"); (belt, coiled): 10.25 cm x 10.25 cm x 4.5 cm (4" x 4" x 13/4")
