I have that exact pair except they're both labeled Remington ;)
I also have one labeled Camillus. Never did find a Buck for a price I was willing to pay.

I don't know that I've ever quoted myself before 🤔

I misspoke. In I Invoice 's picture, the Buck barlow has a pin near the bolster and the Remington does not. Both my Remington's and the Camillus lack this pin. The Buck is unique among them 👍:)

Why was that version of the Pledge of Allegiance used? /Bert

I suspect that as a Camillus project it may have slipped past direct Buck family oversight. As a very religious family I'm sure it would have been disapointing.

Yes, 'under god' is missing from the text as we know it today but those two words were not added until 1954. The pledge has a complicated and interesting history of different variations so if you care to read more check it out on Wikipedia.

Here is one interesting tidbit from wiki...political correctness is not an absolute but varies with the times.
Bellamy designed it to be recited in 15 seconds. As a socialist, he had initially also considered using the words equality and fraternity but decided against it, knowing that the state superintendents of education on his committee were against equality for women and African Americans.

wonderboy1377s wonderboy1377s Great knife photo tie in. The Edmund Fitzgerald left port near Duluth MN on the afternoon of November 9th and sank the following evening, November 10th, 1975. Tomorrow will be the 50th anniversary. At 729' the Fitz was the largest ore carrier when launched in 1958. Modern Great Lakes ore carriers exceed 1000'

DeSotoSky DeSotoSky it is probably the most famous ship wreck on the Great Lakes. Unfortunately all 29 crew members were lost. Many believe it encountered up to 35 foot waves and went down fast. None of the life boats were launched and there was no distress call.

Here is a good article on it.

The last transmission from the Edmund Fitzgerald, was, "We are holding our own."
Growing up around Detroit and going to college at Michigan Tech in the U.P. in 1978, the Edmund Fitzgerald was a big topic. I had one professor who was obsessed with the wreck. He had multiple styrofoam models he had made showing various possibilities.

That's a good link you posted :thumbsup:
