Silber, NashuaDistinguished scout, citizen of NashuaDate: June 17, 2004Publication: Telegraph, The (Nashua, NH)Word Count: 1152Max I. Silber, 93, of Langdon Place, Nashua, died Tuesday evening, June 15, 2004. Mr. Silber was born Feb. 15, 1911, in Manchester, son of the late Oscar and Anna (Slovak) Silber. He had been a longtime resident of Nashua.He was the widower of Edith (Kamenske) Silber. They were married June 20, 1934. They shared 65 years of marriage before her death in 2000.You can pay $3 to read the whole article, it is his obituary, so I would call it canon. (I as at his funeral, although personal account/verification may not be worth too much, so hopefully this reference will suffice.) RobHoitt 19:11, 12 September 2007 (UTC)

text: Works for me. When I get time to work on his refs, I'll add this in.Rlevse 20:42, 12 September 2007 (UTC)

text: All I know, and all the obit said was that Max died peacefully at his home. While I know a few of the folks around Max towards the end, I don't think it would be that appropriate or polite to inquire much past that. I'll try to make what we have work a bit better...

replies: text: OK, death doesn't need to be its own section. Depending on other things found, it could be in a "later in life" section.Rlevse 15:02, 15 September 2007 (UTC)
replies: text:  I gave it a quick touchup. I added some facts about his personal life, the only way I could provide a web referece to the fact that Max's buckles can sell for 'hundreds of dollars' was by showing where they are currenltly being sold. eBay is the most common source of sales, and there always seem to be buckles sold there. Today, there are some for as much as $400. I thought it best to show this example as it shows what multiple people are actually selling them for in one place, and theoretically that is I think a more accurate way of depicting it than by showing individual collector's personal sites.

text: I understand. The other issue with ebay links is that they disappear after 90 days.Rlevse 15:58, 15 September 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: Death

message: I would love to have a complete listing of the Max Buckles, I do not have photos of all of them, maybe folks can help us out. I have notes for many, but without good photostock they won't look so good... I have photos of the two posthumous buckles already. RobHoitt 21:51, 12 September 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: O.K. I've started the list, I know there is more, but those were the ones that I knew about. If folks could upload photos of their buckles, we can complete this section. I have a 1984 Council Jambo buckle, and a couple others that I will be photographing. I am planning a trip up to the LL Lee Museum in late October to try to photograph any that I still need and to get official quantity amounts. RobHoitt 19:37, 23 September 2007 (UTC)
replies: text:  All right, list and photos are now complete. I was given a copy of the last printed official quantity listing that the Museum made up, it was not updated past 2002. So we have compete data for all but two official buckles. Now there are nine other "unofficial" buckles, which I don't have pictures or data for yet... I'm working on that part now...   In looking at the final product, I'd like to get better photos of a couple of these, but for now the collection is complete, and all the photos are of consistent quality, so unless someone has better photos we'll go with these for now.
