COLLECTIBLE MAX SILBER FRIENDSHIP BELT BUCKLES
MAX SILBER was a huge benefactor to New Hampshire’s Daniel Webster Council, and to Scouting worldwide.
When he was asked to be the Scoutmaster to the Council’s contingent to the 1950 BSA National Jamboree, of his own volition, and with his own money, he designed and manufactured a commemorative belt buckle for the event. He gave two to every member of the contingent, with the express instructions to “wear one and give the other one away, to someone you didn’t know!”
The tradition continued throughout nearly fifty years, with new designs being cast for every NH Statewide, National, and World Jamboree, and for the highest honors in Scouting: Eagle Award, Silver Beaver, Silver Buffalo, O/A Vigil, and WoodBadge. There are two designs that celebrate the Lawrence L. Lee Scouting Museum, which Max co-founded in 1969.
Sixty-seven different designs were produced, including some “one-ofs” test castings. Today, very few of the designs, and only a very limited supply, remain available to Scouts, Scouters, and collectors. Only two or three complete “type sets” exist, and they are held by private collectors. There is a display of 62 of them in the Max I. Silber Scouting Library at the Lawrence L. Lee Scouting Museum. The Molds of all of the event-specific commemorative buckles have long since been destroyed, and very few buckles, of very few designs, still remain available for sale.
As collector’s items, their relative value is roughly based on how old they are, and how many are in circulation. Some sell on the open market for hundreds of dollars. But our Museum is the only authorized authentic source.
