Hoyt Buck produced the first Buck Knife in 1902. Hoyt and his son Al moved to San Diego and set up shop as H.H. Buck & Son in 1947. Al Buck revolutionized the knife industry in 1964 with the infamous Model 110 Folding Hunter. The company's innovative history and attention to quality have made for many great collectible knives.

advertising placard

Post by 268bull »

First of, let me apologize for such a poor quality picture. I still don't understand why my photo's end up at that angle???? For what it's worth however, I picked up this old advertising placard the other day. Thought it was unique enough to hold onto. ::shrug:: Dale

Hey Gino! I was in my favorite 2nd hand store rooting thru boxes and happened upon it. It measures 6 inches long and 1 5/16 inche wide. It's for sale if anyone has a use for it. I own a couple of Buck knives , but have never really been a big fan of Buck knives. I have an old Buck 103 I keep in my elk pack ( 79 or 80 version ) but that's about it. ::nod:: Dale P.S. The owner even sweetend' the deal, he tossed me a Camillus #64,a freebie. Has a busted out handle on one side, but the blades are good. The pen blade needs worked a bit, has a nice spiral leather punch, and just sharpen the main blade. I have some corian laying out in the garage, I'm going to go to work on making new handles. ::tu:: Dale

Guys this is a metal stamping that goes on the top of the old hardware store counter top display....the first model display that was used for a number of years. Lets see if I can find a photo....the whole display in good shape sells for up near and into the three digit range.

Here is a quick photo grab from someones display. They usually have red cloth inside. Notice plaque on the top edge. You see them for sale at an auction site without the wooded box once in awhile.
