That is pretty cool Ron. And with pre-1966 stamp too, probably a good bit older based on some things I haven't confirmed, and it has been well used! The things that turn up...

I wonder who did the engraving? The style and composition somehow looks familiar.

ON the OP, the pictures show an etched Randall-made stamp, and then pictures of a belt.. but no pictures showing any connection between stamp and belt. Is there a knife or something hidden in the belt?

Thanks, Jack. I believe it was done by either Bo or Tom Leschorn. Rick Bowles told me he believes he saw one that GTR owned that was pretty much identical.

Thanks, Ronnie. I've seen some strange things like the belt buckle pop up on e-bay under the heading of Randall from time to time. Here is another. It is some sort of ID tag made from a scrap of Belgian Congo ivory to include the customs import stamp on the back:

Thanks Ron. I kinda thought there had to be a blade in that belt somewhere... odd that the person offering the item didn't include a picture of it. The blade is "odd" too.

I read somewhere that Mr. Randall made ID tags of scrap ivory to attach to his golf bag. Being a golfer myself, I can testify that most have a plastic ID tag on bag, usually provided by the pro. Google will show many examples. Thanks again for showing the cool stuff.

He sent me a photo pac of 5 pictures. One is the same as posted above. I didn't bother wasting my time to post his pics, since it's a farce in my eye's anyhow.....lol
