While at the Central New York TOR this past weekend, Scott Bracken (who is a CSP collector) showed me a flap from Tuighaunock Lodge#409 which he was having problems identifying. There was a good reason as it was not listed in the Blue Book or on OA Images
Tuighaunock Lodge merged in 1994 with Amo’Chk Lodge #339 to form Ashokwahta Lodge #339. In 12+ years since the merger and attending TOR’s throughout upstate NY, I do not recall ever having seen it before
The first thing that stuck me is that it had a gray background which none of the other 409 flaps have. While it may not be apparent from the scan, it has a Dark Blue border with a black lockstitch. The base material as you can see from the scan of the back is white and it is a cloth back.
Please check your dupes and collections and let me know if you have another patch like this one.
My tentative thoughts are to call this the YS2 until more information can be obtained.
