Ho-De-No-Sau-Nee Lodge #159 Ellicott Chapter R1 Discovery
Last weekend a the Western New York Trade-O-Ree three new discoveries surfaced. Two were chapter issues from Ellicott Chapter from Ho-De-No-Sau-Nee Lodge that were previously uncatalogued. Here is the first one. It was sewn on a blanket which was part of the lodge auction and contained approximately 175 patches mainly of local interest.
One of those caused a bit of a stir as a number of the local collectors had not seen it before.
The owner of the blanket who donated it to the auction was not present, but those that knew him said he was active in the chapter. The embroidery and lettering were consistent with the style use by the patch company used by several of the other chapters in the lodge who all produced patches in the early to mid 1980’s.
The likely Blue Book Designation will be:
Ellicott R1 RED R LBL BLK - BLK 159, Ceremonial Team
