Bill,
The # '52' on the reverse is the manufacturer's code number used instead of their company name. It's not unusual to see these numbers on the reverse but to a collector, an added asset. Your piece appears to be a nice example and as said, is in an excellent condition case so I would estimate the value at around $350.
The Political Leader's buckle is the more common, larger size and it also appears to be in excellent condition so the value is in the area of $200. - $250.
Best,
John
