An interesting auction recently ended on eBay for a Neal Slide from Half Moon Lodge #28<\/a>. <\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

While I don’t follow Neal Slides, I don’t remember seeing any Neal slides selling in this range before.<\/p>\n
