Max Silber’s Friendship Gifts were given to the youth and adults from Daniel Webster Council (New Hampshire) for every National and World Jamboree from 1950 to 2010. In addition to the Jamborees, Max also produced buckles for other BSA national programs and Daniel Webster Council events. From time to time he experimented with different castings (white bronze, chrome) and produced some prototypes before deciding on the final production run. He also produced some interesting items including plaques, a bronze frying pan, scout sign and a wood badge neckerchief slide. The Eagle Scout, Vigil, Silver Beaver, and Museum buckles are available for purchase from the Lee Scouting Museum.

There are eleven buckles (ref. Silber Checklist) that were also mass produced in white bronze. The 1999 WJ Chile buckle was produced in both bronze and naval brass (blue) The Commissioner buckles (3 variations) were done with and without a logo on back and also as white bronze variation. Depicted in the image gallery is only one of each variation. In addition to this, two prototype issues are shown and a few other prototypes are in circulation.

Max on occasion would produce prototypes before final production. Two examples are shown here.
