I go like this because it was a key chain.

And he just gave them to him for Christmas.

He's like, this is kind of cool.

These guys will appreciate this.

Well, then those started spreading around everywhere, and folks were like, I want one, I want one.

And then he's like, well, I'm going to have to charge you for it.

And he kind of just accidentally got into business, right?

And didn't know anything about metal casting.

And then he designed what became the first U.S.

Forest Service official belt buckle.

So if you've ever seen a forest ranger with a belt buckle, or really...

either the official one or any of the other buckles on federal government natural resource agency folks.

So that's Forest Service, Fish and Wildlife Service, Park Service, Department of Interior.

We made it and just almost guaranteed.

Well, so how this worked is that my dad came up with this design in the 70s and then sent it to the copyright office.

And in the 70s, the U.S.

government did not protect any of its insignia with copyrights.

The 90s?

No.

This could have started it, honestly.
