I had previously written about a neckerchief slide from Kamargo Lodge # 294. In the comments I speculated that it could have been done by Roland Flora, but had no confirmation.

At least one version of the Kamargo is in the Roland Flora collection on display at the TMR Museum this summer.

Mahikan Lodge #181 is one of the tougher New York State OA Lodges.  Unless you have real deep pockets, this is probably the cheapest item from the lodge.

Clicking on the image will bring you to the auction results for the next few months.

Two unique bidders were interested in this neckerchief.  The high bidder came back 3 times to ensure that his bid would win.

I am fast approaching 2500 posts on the New York OA Trader blog, the post will likely occur sometime before the end of this month. If I made a $ 1.50 for each post (and saved it), I could afford the only issue from this old NY OA Lodge.

Sure would look good in my collection!
