Tom Carola sends along some pictures of Suanhacky Lodge #49 Rockaway Chapter swag. I had previously posted about a Rockaway Chapter Neckerchief here or the felt seahorse X2 issue here.

Rockaway Chapter Neckerchief Slide

This one has the look of Roland Floras work from the Slide Farm. Can any Suanhacky Brothers confirm if this is his work or when it may have been commissioned?

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

Is anyone aware of any other event issues from Onteroraus Lodge #402?

Bidding started at just $ 1.00, but 3 bidders made 10 bids before this one ended. Two of the three bidders stuck in there slugging it out until the hammer came down at $ 46.00.

An Onteroraus Lodge Neckerchief auction recently ended on eBay for an early 402 neckerchief and related Neal slide.

clicking on the image will bring you to the auction results for the next few months.

Not sure what drove the bidding here, the neckerchief or the Neal slide. Bidding started at just $ 8.00, but 4 bidders made 17 bids before this one ended at just over $ 128.00. Three of the bidders stuck in there at over $ 120.00.

The Neal slide looks like it was altered to include the Brotherhood slide. Not sure if any of the bidding interest was for the slide rather than the neckerchief.

A neckerchief slide attributed to Nick Stoner Lodge #418 recently ended on eBay. The Blue Book shows a charter year of 1949 for the Lodge, but they certainly could have been meeting before the charter date. Can anyone confirm the provenance of this slide?

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

There were 5 unique bidders for this slide, and two of them stayed in to the end when the hammer came down it sold for nearly $ 23.00.

In 1953 Nick Stoner changed its name to hay-En-Da-Ne-Gea Lodge #418.

An interesting auction recently ended on eBay for a Neal Slide from Half Moon Lodge #28.

while I have previously seen Neal slides for a couple of other NY OA Lodges, including #19 and # 477, I don’t believe I’ve ever seen the Half Moon version before. As you can see below at least a couple of bidders felt they had to have it.

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

The bidding for this one was spirited five unique bidders making 6 bids, with four bidders haging in a more that $ 40.00. Two bidders were left near the end, when a $ 200.00 bid was made, but the bid leaders proxy bid was high enough that he won for $ 202.50.

While I don’t follow Neal Slides, I don’t remember seeing any Neal slides selling in this range before.

This is another new item from Lowanne Nimat Lodge which I picked up at the TOR held at Camp Woddlands in June. It is a oval shaped patch with a snap which can be used as a neckerchief slide. Because of the material it is made from, the embroidery and design I feel it should be classified as an X issue.

Lowanne Nimat Lodge #219 Neckerchief Slide X5

The stats for this one would be:
X5 RED R WHT BKL – BLK Order of the Arrow – Oval w/Snap

How would you classify it?
