Gavin Murdoch sends along a scan of another slide from Thay-En-Da-Ne-Gea Lodge #418 along with his thoughts on its provenance.
The copper metal is black on the reverse and what appears to be copper painted or enameled.. The numbers and lettering is engraved down to the black. There looks like some wearing of the copper which then shows black. I also think that this was issued for the1956 2D conclave which was hosted by 418 at our summer camp Woodworth Lake. I won’t swear to this but it all fits.
Can anyone else confirm the origins of this slide?
Thay-En-Da-Ne-Gea Lodge #418 also issued a neckerchief, categorized by the Blue Book as the N1 pictured below.
I have heard in the past, that this neckerchief is not truly the N1 from the lodge, but rather the Area 2-D Conclave neckerchief from 1956.
Can anyone shed any light on this issue too? Hopefully this would include documentation from the Conclave Program or something definitive from the Lodge records.
