Lot Description:

From the Cindy Cash Collection

Personally owned and worn by Johnny Cash, this solid cast metal Southern Pacific Lines belt buckle carries the bold, industrial spirit of American railroads and Cash’s unmistakable style.

Manufactured by Lewis Buckles of Chicago in 1974, the heavy round bronze-tone buckle features a classic raised logo with a rich, weathered patina. A rare relic from Cash’s personal wardrobe, this piece exemplifies the rugged Western aesthetic he embraced both on and off stage.

Appraiser’s Note:

Railroad-themed memorabilia owned and worn by Johnny Cash—particularly from lines referenced in his music—holds strong appeal for both music collectors and transportation history enthusiasts. The Southern Pacific Lines motif ties directly to Cash’s railroad lore, and the 1974 Lewis Buckles manufacture date places it firmly in his prime touring years. Authentic stage- or personal-wear pieces from this era consistently draw premium interest.

Auction Estimate: $800–$1,200

Condition: Please review photos for additional details.

Provenance: From the Cindy Cash Collection and accompanied with a signed COA.

Thank you for joining us—it’s an honor to present this historic collection.

Fine Jewelry Guarantee

All fine jewelry lots are guaranteed to match the descriptions and material specifications provided. Please read the following details carefully:

All items described as platinum, gold (10k–18k, yellow or white), Platlite, or sterling silver are guaranteed to be solid metal — never filled or plated.

Any item described as a diamond is guaranteed to be a genuine, natural diamond unless otherwise stated. If a lab-grown diamond is present, it will be clearly noted in the description.

Gemstones — including rubies, sapphires, emeralds, alexandrite, tanzanite, amethyst, citrine, topaz, morganite, and others — may be natural, lab-created, color-enhanced, glass-filled, crystallized, or laser-treated. Natural stones will be labeled as such. Carat weights are approximate and typically fall within a 10% range of stated size due to mounting constraints.

Any appraisal, auction estimate, or stated retail value reflects the opinion of the evaluator based on comparable new jewelry in the current market. These values are provided for reference only and should not be the sole basis for purchase or resale. Karats by Auction House is not responsible for any errors, omissions, or changes in value.

When a ring is listed as resizable, it generally means a qualified jeweler can adjust the size up or down by one full size. If more than one size of adjustment is needed, please call or text 952-237-4888 to confirm whether the specific ring can be resized beyond that range.
