You know Tom,

The Babe (George Herman Ruth) was making $80,000 when the president was only making $75,000.
Babe said he had a better year.

Wonder what the "other" George in that display would've said to that??? :eek: :)

Great! This is the kinda stuff that makes knife collecting fun for me. Hey, you guys into the heavy tacticals, work and military knives Camillus makes... check out the rest of their history.

My research shows that the endorsement contract for the figural knife was signed in 1930, at the time Albert Baer would have been about 24. Quite a coup for a young man. But likewise, I don't have a copy of the contract to document the date. I suppose there could be a trademark registration though on the name use by Kastor, or a design patent for the figural knife.
