Were any other items issued for this event?

This is currently a need of mine.

Update Aug. 2014:
Todd Rogers advised:

…that the 1994 Conclave had an Envelope/Cancelled Stamp they sold during the weekend. These were sold for a few dollars and there were 1,000 made. I know they didn’t sell out but I’m not sure what happened to them after the event. I’ve scanned mine (front and back). These may be tough items to get since I don’t think I’ve seen one on eBay in the last 15 years. I suspect many of the people who bought them lost track of them and many ended up in the trash over the last 20 years.

  1. This was the only patch issued for the event. The tip of the spear was a participant patch/sticker that was given out for meeting a set number of “participant” criteria. It was patterned after the W5A conclave patch. Several Langundowi members attended that conclave earlier in the year at the invitation of Kelly Williams and were impressed by the design, which is why you have a two part patch.

    There were two other non patch items from the event. Langundowi, the host lodge, sold 1,000 envelopes with the section conclave logo (imposed over the langundowi lodge flap) and hand cancelled by the post office. Each were individually numbered and sold for $5. #46 was retained by Langundowi for their archives. I have one somewhere I can take a picture of for you. Langundowi also gave members of their contingent langundowi sunglasses. Not sure I still have the sunglasses. In anticipation of hosting the event, the lodge also gave out pine tree keychains at the 1993 section conclave as a “reminder”.
