New York OA Trader

A year ago, I posted on a previously unlisted event Patch from Man-A-Hattin Lodge #82 Spring Weekend held at Camp Henry.  Was Camp Henry a Boy Scout Camp?  I’m not aware of any GNYC or other metro New York Area Boy Scout Camp by this name.

We have all heard the expression a small lodge that doesn’t have a lot of traders; well despite being from the heart of New York City, Man-A-Hattan Lodge #82 fits that description. Five event issues surfaced at the Shu Shu Gah #24 TOR a couple of weekends ago, Gene Berman gets credit for the discovery.

I need all 5 of these patches if anyone has one available.

The fifth and final discovery is the Staff patch for a Camp-O-Ree they hosted back in 2003.

After 2003, the lodge decided the expense of the patches was too great and stopped producing them.

Another new event discovery from Man-A-Hattin Lodge #82. The late 1950’s through mid- 1960’s seemed to be a popular time for event issues from the Lodge. Since in recent years (the last 15-20 certainly). Man-A-Hattin has been one of the smallest GNYC Lodges and has never had many collectors. Many of these event issues have never been cataloged before. You can see a number of them by clicking on the Man-A-Hattin Category Link on the Left Sidebar.

This one is a white Naugahyde (?) neckerchief slide with a red sill screened design.

At the Lodge #2 TOR this weekend, I acquired a new fake from one of the other table-holders. He had acquired it himself at a TOR several months back. The individual I acquired it from has a long history in buying and selling memorabilia and is not known for dealing in these types of patches.

The flap is computer designed version of the Manahattin Lodge #82 F1 or S1, and is of much better quality than the recent batch of “modern fakes” on eBay.

Both John Pannell and Bob McCanless have both weighed in on the subject of fakes from two different points of view. Although neither of them are in favor of fakes. Take the time to read them,

But to the subject at hand:

Gene Berman brings word of a new to me (and the Blue Book) leather event patch from Man-A-Hattin Lodge #82. The patch was issued for their Spring Weekend held at Camp Henry in 1963.

A late addition to the 2006 NYS NOAC list comes from Lodge #82. Man-A-Hattin Lodge issued two flaps for this years NOAC a fundraiser and a trader. I haven’t been able to confirm, but I beleive the Gold Mylar Border was a fundraiser. Will update once I can provide confirmation.

The design, same as the S18 is of a Yellow Checker Cab being driven by a beaver, leaving NYC.
