Kittan Lodge #364 10th Anniversary Flap S39

Here is another new issue from Kittan Lodge #364 for their 10th Anniversary. The Kittens are back following up on their popular Send a Kittan to NOAC 2015 fundraiser last year.

Please consider this numbering as tentative as I have become aware I have missed a 2012 NOAC Issue from the Lodge which may require renumbering a number of more recent issues.

S39 BLK R M/C WHT – WHT 10th Anniversary 2006-2016, WWW

I also have a couple of these flaps available to trade now for new issues from New York State OA Lodges or any of my needs.

You can currently order them direct from the lodge Kittan-Lodge-Specialty-Flap-Form-2016.

Look Back – Ashokwahta Lodge #339 Service and Fellowship eX2011

Five years ago I posted about an event issue from Ashokwahta Lodge #339 a feather shaped patch issued for Service and Fellowship and designated the eX2011.

Ashokwahta Lodge #339 Service and Fellowship eX2011

The numbering for this issue should be:
eX2011 M/C C WHT LBL YEL 2011 FDL; LBL Service & Fellowship 2011

What has Ashokwahta Lodge #339 issued since the 2015 NOAC? Inquiribng minds want to know (and trade for it)?

State of the Hobby – RANACHQUA Lodge #4 S30 Vigil flap

Here is an example of a recent flap which did not see wide distribution, The Ranachqua Lodge S30 Vigil flap. There seems to be a group of bidders which is very aggressive on completing their Ranachqua Lodge collections.

Clicking on the image will bring you to the auction results for the next few weeks.

There were only 2 bidders on this auction which started at $ 12.00, but they both made large bids for it. The hammer came down at $ 77.00.

Here’s another Ranachqua Lodge 40th Anniversary Neckerchief currently not pictured on OA Images. It is not the best picture, but at least you can see what one looks like.

Ranachqua Lodge #4 40th Anniversary Neckerchief N7a & N7b

Identification Aide

OA Images does not currently show both versions of the Ranachqua Lodge #4 N7a and N7b and I think the description can use improving.

The N7a is described as
WHT M/C SSC design similar to F1-2 with 40th ANN logo on stump; BLU sky

Ranachqua Lodge #4 40th Anniversary Neckerchief N7a

Ranachqua Lodge #4 40th Anniversary Neckerchief N7a

Think we should add Blue and Orange in Sky and Orange Highlights to the description.

The N7b is described as N7b WHT M/C SSC design similar to F1-2 with 40th ANN logo on stump; BLU & YEL in sky; MVE

Ranachqua Lodge #4 40th Anniversary Neckerchief N7b

Perhaps change Blue and Yellow in to Yellow inn Sky and Highlights
