Some days I get lucky and receive an offer to buy a small collection.  Sometimes these don't pan out like the one I hit this week where after visiting the guy he said he was going to send it to his buddies auction house.  But I did have a winner this week when a small package came in from Alaska.

• Neckerchief Slides Onward For God And My Country
• Leaping Wolf Cub Scout Flag Pole Top Finial Brass
• 1937 World Jamboree Holland Silver Metal Ring
• Lot of Boy Scout Pins Badges Merit Cards Sash
• Lot of 23 Boy Scouts of America Flap Patches
• 1933 World Jamboree Hungary Silver Ring
• Adult Leader's Campaign Hat Size 7 1/4

 

This guy served in the army and did a lot of his Scouting at different posts.  In those quirky collections there can sometimes be some winners.  He had something that I can describe as a flag but it's a huge single color screen print on a canvas material.  It's for the old Georgia Alabama council that merged around 1963.  That one will be on eBay tonight.

• Sioux Lodge #62 Flap Patch Order of the Arrow Mint
• Tu-Cubin-Noonie Lodge Flap Patch Utah Nat'l Parks
• 124 Noquochoke Flap Patch Early, F2 Second? BSA
• Lodge 67 N3 Anicus Flat Chenille Rare Neckerchief
• Area 9-D Conference Patch Camp Tom Wooten
• NOAC Occoneechee Lodge 104 North Carolina
• Wisumahi Lodge #478 Flap Patch OA Mint

 

The really neat piece that might be a winner is a military base strip that isn't in my somewhat dated copy of the CSI Guide.  Blake Keasey and now Frank Kern were in charge of the quarterly article in the ISCA Journal for red and white strips.  This guy was stationed in Alaska and has a Ft. Richardson strip (army base near Anchorage).  It might not do much on eBay but I'm throwing it up there tonight to see what happens.

• Lieut.-General Baden-Powell Boer War Tin Litho Plate
• 28 Khaki Merit Badges on Explorer Merit Badge Sash

• Employed People's Grey NC World Jamboree 2003
• 19th World Scout Jamboree Chile Memory Book
• Nischa Achowalogen Embroidered Neckerchief
• Lodge 96 First Pie Patch On Mint Neckerchief

 

During April I'm running an OA Activity Patch Blind Trade.  You can shake up your dupe box and get back all different patches.  I've received a bunch of packages and I hope you'll jump in too .

Today one of my projects is cracking open the 7 footlockers I brought back from New England and diving into this collection.  I have patch OCD so they all have to be sorted and organized before I can start offering them up for sale.
