Buck Belt Buckles

fmcanoe · Jan 4, 2001

Any one have an idea about Buck Belt Buckles as to how many different ones have been put out an when were they issued?

I have a brass one, BUCK Knives w/hammer, knife & nail, Back "Buck knives ElCajon, Ca., it also has a sticker made in Canada.

Also the pewter 4 generations made for Buck & Smokey Mountain.

Also a pewter limited edition, with some type of blue colored epoxy or resin around a 110 & other logo's Back side has BB901, made in USA on a flag & limited edition. This one is in a box marked model No. 144/ Cat. #789

Are there others and are they all authorized editions?

Don't forget The Wolverine Knife Collectors in Novi, Michigan Jan. 26,27,28 2001.

There are two others that I know about. In the 70's the Texas rep, Dean Washmon, had some made of leather. They had the old "Hammer & Bolt" logo. Dean gave them to all of the Buck reps and Don Ham (Buck sales manager) got them into the Buck sales stream somehow, I can't remember the details.

In 1983, Facet Designs Inc. (they made the Classic handles) made 200 out of silver. Buck never sold them but all of the Buck executives got one. I bought all that were left and used 100 of them for the launching of the Buck Collectors Club; a buckle came with the first 100 lifetime memberships (founding members). The next 150 members were called "charter members" and got the 1990 club knife (a Sawby lock #531), as did founding members.

There were also several other buckles made by employees, but only a few of each one.
