Philmont Dollar Patch

Calendar November 12, 2010 | Posted by nyoatrader


Not one of my usual sources for patch collecting knowledge, but the current issue of Scouting Magazine(scroll to the bottom of the page) contains some useful information for those who collect Philmont patches.

From 1942 to 1956, Philmont campers strived to earn the “dollar” or “P” patch. The six segments ringing the “P” represented various interest areas, including the red cap of the Sportsman that went to candidates who qualified in field sports such as rifle, shotgun, and fishing.

Read the article for more information.It concludes..

The Mountainman Award could not be earned; it could only be presented.

This makes this one the rarest segment of them all.

Half Moon Lodge #28 Vigil Flap Variation S10a & S10b

Calendar November 12, 2010 | Posted by nyoatrader

I was recently reviewing some older emails and came across a note from Tom Wadnola regarding the S10 Vigil flap from Half Moon Lodge #28. It appears that at one point the flap was reordered, and the differences seem to be enough to warrant an a and b variety.

The newer variety is wider from side to side and a bit narrower from top to bottom.  The lettereing in the new er one is dark green and the you can see white under the mylar border.

Half Moon Lodge #28 Vigil flap S10a and S10b

The Blue Book stats should be:
S10a SMY R WHT GRN GRN FDL;PB; VIG; 50 x 114mm
S10b SMY R WHT DGR DGR FDL;PB; VIG; 48 x 117mm
