I've got one. They are very cool. I found it at the last local cap gun show. Most of them are missing the coin pocket these days because they were simply put in with contact cement, but still a cool belt. They were available in different sizes because the leather was stamped in a continuous roll and just cut to size.
Kaiser Aluminum was the primary sponsor of "MAVERICK" during its early seasons on ABC, so this probably dates from the first season [1957-'58], and was a direct tie-in to the show. That's "The Kaiser Kid" {and his horse, "Quilty"}, who pitched Kaiser Aluminum Foil in their commercials at the time. Dick Beals is the voice of the "Kid"; Dick Tufeld is the announcer.

It's too bad that Mr.Garner didn't get any
of the profits from this merchandised item
and it lead to his leaving the show.
