I still have the first one. I had the second but not sure if I still do. I know I have both of the kerchief keepers that matched them. They were not awarded, you bought them out of your own pocket. I got mine between 1956 and 1959. I assume they are still made and the insignia may be different from time to time. Mine aren't handy to compare to the image. I also have the original belt but it seems to have shrunk a bit as it no longer goes around me. They are common so don't have much value but they are a nice collectible.
Pic #1 is the Boy Scout buckle and pic #2 is the Cub Scout buckle.......no monetary value at all and they have been the same for as many years as they have been made.....
Yes the Weblo buckle and boy scout buckle are seperate groups. Emblem is the same but some are a bit larger or smaller depending on when they were made. I wish they had more value because I saved all mine and even bought a few over the years. Three grandsons growing up so maybe I can find them a home.
