Knowledge is Power - 1948 Area I Conclave

I have previously posted on John Pannell’s series of posts on North Carolina Conclave Issues. One of the earliest was the 1948 Area I Fellowship Meeting. John commented:

Like all Area I meeting items, this patch is very scarce. It is not often seen for sale or trade.

There is on on eBay now, with a starting bid of only $9.99. Lets see what value those Southern Boys put on this patch.

Area 2-G issued several NOAC Contingent pieces over the years.  I had previously written on their contingent patch for the 1971 NOAC. This time, we have a neckerchief issued for the 1969 NOAC held at the University of Indiana.

Were there any other items issued for this NOAC by Area 2-G?
