“We who live in free market societies believe that growth, prosperity and ultimately human fulfillment, are created from the bottom up, not the government down. Only when the human spirit is allowed to invent and create, only when individuals are given a personal stake in deciding economic policies and benefitting from their success — only then can societies remain economically alive, dynamic, progressive, and free. Trust the people. This is the one irrefutable lesson of the entire postwar period contradicting the notion that rigid government controls are essential to economic development.” –Ronald Reagan

“The time has come,” the Walrus said,
“To talk of many things:
Of shoes–and ships–and sealing-wax–
Of cabbages–and kings–
And why the sea is boiling hot–
And whether pigs have wings.”

Back from the Central New York TOR held this past weekend with lots of news and images which should see the light of day over the next couple of weeks. Thanks to Dick, Steve and the rest of the William Hillcourt Scout Museum for putting on the TOR.

I have news and images for a number of patches issued by various NY OA Lodges some heard at the TOR and other via email reports.

• Half Moon Lodge #28 has at least 3 varieties of its current regular issue flap.

Here is a new issue from Suanhacky Lodge #49 for the event that never was.  For the last several years, Suanhacky Lodge #49 has hosted an event called Arrowquest and each year they since at least 2006 they have issued a patch for the event.  2010 was no different, a patch was ordered and accepted by the lodge, but the event was canceled.

The lodge has since been selling the patches, so here ia a lodge issue for an event that never was.

Here is a strategy used by a seller who is likely unsure of an items true value or hoping for a bidder who had to have it.  Here is an auction for a Suanhacky Lodge #49 N2 which recently ended on eBay without a bid.

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

At $ 89.00, I can see why there were no bids.

The seller recently re-listed the Suanhacky Lodge #49 N2for a starting price of $ 4.41.

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

With a starting price of $ 4.41, this should generate some interest.

Here is a 50+ year old plastic neckerchief slide from Suanhacky Lodge #49.

There is no makers mark or other symbol on the slide, so I’m not sure who the manufacturer is.

Does anyone know who made these style slides?
