50s Neckerchief Slides Lot
I wrote about this seemingly innocent auction on eBay last week entitled 50s Neckerchief Slides Lot with a starting bid of just $ 8.95.
Clicking on the image will bring you to the auction for the next few months.
From that lowly starting point, it quickly rose to over $ 1000.00 and before then hammer fell for the last time, there were four separate bidders over $ 1,000 and a fifth at $ 998.
The final $ 1,534.09. Steak Dinner for the seller that night!
I believe the key were the four Area 3 neckerchief slides. Were there any other items which drove up the price so high?

Yep, the Area 3A neckerchief slides from 1951 through 1954.
And of course, the 3C lodges were in 3A through ’52 and the 3D and 3E lodges through ’53, so collectors of those areas would also be interested in the early 3A pieces.
