Another recent sale on eBay of interest to New York State OA collectors was a Suanhacky Lodge #49 felt R1 & X1 on a neckerchief. I’ve been told these neckerchiefs were typically for Lodge officers.
Clicking on the image will bring you to the auction for the next couple of months.
There were 4 bidders on this auction, two of them slugging it out before the hammer came down at over $ 109.00
