I picked up what I thought was a 402N3 in error, as I had one in my collection, but since the ‘new’ one was Mint In Package (MIP), I decided to compare it with the one already in my collection. AS luck would have it, the one I already had was also MIP. Then I looked again and relized there were two different backgrounds.
What I had in my collection matched the Blue Book description for the N3, and it had a TRQ silkscreened background. The N4(?) had an LBL silkscreened background
BB V stats are:
N3 - - WHT BRN - M/C TRI SSC design
The next one is:
Both have been scanned through their original sealed palstic bags. Any else have one?
This is the 4th set in a six set series of two piece designs depicting Northeast Woodland Indian beadwork and embroidery. The each set utilizes the designs of one of the tribes in the Iroquois Confederacy. Two additional sets are due to be released.
Tentative BBV numbering is:
402 Onteroraus S39 PUR C PUR YEL WHT BSA WWW YEL Order of the Arrow - Onondaga Totem Pouch Set w/X7
402 Onteroraus X7 PUR C PUR - YEL FDL outlined BLK w/S39 Onondaga Totem Pouch
I have a couple of sets available for trade for other NY Issue needs.
Lodge 402 has also issued a 2004 NOAC Flap.
The tentative BB stats:
402 Onteroraus S40 WHT R M/C BLK WHT FDL Blk 402 NOAC 2004
I have a couple available for trade for other NY 2004 NOAC Issue needs.
Unfortunately I need to post another fake issue, I don’t have a scan of this one. Also originally found on eBay, although not from either of the sellers listed.
The details are:
402 Onteroraus ZS1 ORG C M/C BRN RED FDL
This is apparently fake of S18 Elangomat Flap with the yellow border. It follows the bidmystamp and now xflip97esales issues in that it has a cut edge, but is not (at least this time around) from either of those sellers.
Not a good direction for the hobby.
I recently came across a new find on the “site which must not be named”. Sorry forgot this was not Patch-L.
In 1971 Lodge #402 Onteroraus issued a Leather patch (used as a neckerchief slide) for there Banquet. Does anyone have more information on this item or know if the lodge has issued any other event items. It will be listed in Blue Book V as the 402 eL1971. This is the only known event issue from 402.
