At that time they were not making date tags and I don't know if they are making them now. They took the tags off my old belts and sewed them on the new belts. Have heard that there are other vendors doing them now but don't know who they are.

If you see a Top Flight, Duntov, or Bloomington Gold Corvette, chances are it has Charlie's belts in it.

Sweet to see there's finally something I need right in my back yard too!!! - Thanks John!!!!!!

Do you know if he (Charlie) puts the clear protective back on the buckles too? I don't think Ssnake-Oyl was doing that but I could be wrong & apologies to them if I am.

I'll be calling him Monday!!!!!

Happy Easter Everyone!!!
