Aros Buckles

This card of buckles solves a mystery. I was asked several years ago who made Aros buckles, but did not know …

H. Arendsen & Sons are Melbourne based metal ware manufacturers since 1938 and registered in 1941. They made Australian Army buttons during WW2 . The original firm has been liquidated, but business continues under the entity of Stomcor Shelving. ‘Aros’ was trademarked in Australia in 1946 and America in 1978, but was cancelled in 2001.
