the tradition of creating buckles was carried on by the museum he founded, the lawrence l. lee scouting museum, in cooperation with his daughter, natalie weil of southport, north carolina, and artist rob hoitt, formerly of manchester. they produced two official "max" buckles (2005, 2007). starting in the 1990s (though there are some earlier examples), silber started the tradition of offering two versions of each buckle. one version was made from a nickel-silver bronze, and issued as a collector's edition of the buckle. the second, was generally offered in red bronze and issued as a contingent version of the buckle, which for national and world jamborees are given to the contingent of the daniel webster council, any buckles left over after this are also made available to the public in a limited edition. in 2007, hoitt proposed a one-time change in the tradition of red bronze buckles to commemorate the 100th anniversary of scouting's founding. the contingent buckle for the 21st world scout jamboree was made of polished naval brass with a royal blue lacquer.
