Another episode of Thread Heads from Jason and Brad, this one discussing selling changes on eBay.

Join Brad and Jason as they talk shop. Specifically what are some ways that the recent eBay seller updates have affected their strategies on the marketplace. For example do you know that once you sell an items in your store that unless you act you might continue paying fees to keep that empty listing visible on the platform?

Give it a listen.

The 2016 Section NE-3A Conclave was held at Camp Woodland and hosted by Lowanne Nimat Lodge #219 The theme, a follow up from 2015 theme, for the 2016 weekend was The Quest. My original post for the 2016 conclave did not include the participant patch shown below.

There was also a orange bordered patch

And a red bordered patch:

“If a nation expects to be ignorant — and free — in a state of civilization, it expects what never was and never will be.” —Thomas Jefferson (1816)

Ho-De-No-Sau-Nee Lodge #159 celebrated its 50th Anniversary in 2017, and they have already begun to issue flaps to celebrate the event based on proposed designs dating back to 1967.

My understanding is that this is supposed to be one of 4 throwback flaps, but the lodge did not like these versions and is reordered slightly different designs. The reorders were issued on 2017.

While the first one was issued in 2017, the remaining three were reissued at the Williamsville TOR in September 2018.

Here is the forth version issue for the Lodge Executive Committee:

Ho-De-No-Sau-Nee Lodge #159 50th Anniversary LEC Flap 1967-2017 S78

The stats for this one are:
S78 GMY R M/C RED LBR FDL; RED 159; BLK 1967-2017; LBR WWW 1967 Bob Martin Design (4 of 4): Longhouse White Foreground -LEC Issue

Ashokwahta Lodge #339 issued an Elangomat patch, not sure when it was first issued, but it has just come to my attention.

“The mind that aims at a select militia, must be influenced by a truly anti-republican principle; and when we see many men disposed to practice upon it, whenever they can prevail, no wonder true republicans are for carefully guarding against it.” —Federal Farmer (1787)

Another image from Mia Hubbert, this one from the Section NE-3B 2002 Conclave. This one seems to be neither fish nor fowl. Is from an era later than when most hat pins were issued, but the design elements and shape are not usual for a participant pin.

Anyone know the story behind the pin?

Here is a copy of the pocket patch from the original post, note the arrowhead would not match the pin
