New York OA Trader

Here is another issue not currently on OA Images this one is from Ranachqua Lodge #4 from the Bronx, NY.  It is also one of my needs, so keep me in mind if you stumble across one.

John Tegtmeier, recently questioned the L2.5 from Ranachqua Lodge as described in the Blue Book as he had a variant. While I had the L2.5, I guess I never sent a scan along to John Pannell (since remedied). You can see it pictured below.

John advised, that his was on green leather(?) and provided the following scan.

As you can see, not only is the background different, but the detail is all in red.

The Blue Book description would be:
L2.6 - - GRN - - RED 50 Years of Cheerful Service 1920-1970. Neckerchief Slide

John Tegtmeier brings word of a new Vigil flap from Ranachqua Lodge #4. The design is the same as the S29, but the border is red and a Vigil Triangle has been added. the base design is from the Lodge’s P1 design from the 1960’s.

Apparently this is a small run restricted to Vigils in Ranachqua Lodge.

JT from Ranachqua Lodge #4 advises there is a new regular issue flap released earlier this week. The basic design uses the classic elements from their P1 from the 1960’s.

Run of 300 (Ranachqua is a small lodge nowadays).
