Mide Lodge #15 Oddity
Received another email with a question about another used flap which looks different. Mide and its successor Lodge Ktemaque is located just north of NYC, so Mide flaps are relatively common (for a lodge merged over 30 years ago) at local TOR’s.
In the last 20+ years that I have been actively collecting NY Issues, I’ve never seen one with a brown/khaki background. It may be the result of repeated bleaching/washings which effected the twill but not the threads. Anyone else ever seen one like this?

Looks to me like fading from washing.
The twill is often much more subject to fading than is the thread used for the design.

I have that patch, as I was a Mide #15 Lodge member. That is faded from washing, I will try to take some pictures of this and the other Chappegat neckerchief.
