<p>[QUOTE="gimbler-dave, post: 252906, member: 313"]Thanks all! Buck went up on eBay last night as item 371992052029. The original docs also turned up, and we now know that the award was the "Buc Trimmer" award that was given at North American Aviation for efforts to cut costs. I've only found a couple of other examples of the award. One uses a smaller Buck, mounted to a marble base and with pen holder. It came up on Worthpoint for a 2008 sale, but we haven't gotten the sales price yet. It was awarded to a NAA employee in 1967. The other reference to the award comes from a blog entry by the daughter of a NAA internal auditor. She wrote about it in 2011 and included a picture in her blog - the one she has might be even bigger, but it is hard to tell from the picture. You can find it if you google "buc trimmer award". We've concluded that Buck (style and features) is the original that first appeared in 1929, and had the same look through most of the 1930's, so he is original pulp era version.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
