eBay Scouting Hot Finds Newsletter
Weekend Rewind
  October 2. 2011
Greetings!
This is one of those Sunday's in the Boy Scout category of eBay where I left a lot of top picks on the table.  I just couldn't find room in the newsletter for everything that was worthy of mention.  So you will have to make do with these 5-dozen+ listings that come highly recommended from your editor.  There is a nice mix of OA, insignia, and old World Jamboree items that did make the cut.  Have fun and be sure to check out the 75% off sale I'm running at the bottom of this issue in the coupon block. 
Vintage Scouting Auctions Leading Off
I was a Sea Scout Skipper for two years and so when I saw the bids that the Skippers Key was bringing it brought a smile to my face.  Likewise the Flagship Flotilla was a really special honor for a ship to earn and I'm proud to tell you that there were some ships in North Carolina in the 1930's-40s that achieved that distinction.

Order of the Arrow Auctions Rising High
There are some nice oldies in this block including a Lodge 188 R1 that I probably need to bid on for my collection.  The gems are the pair of 1950s PowWow patches (one pictured to the right).
World Jamboree & International Auctions
I snuck the 1947 WJ patch into an earlier block because it was a standout listing.  The mix of auctions here from the 1950's to the present include patches, neckerchiefs, and a few of the funky pieces that have been issued over the years.

Scouting Memorabilia U Have 2 C
I usually save the last block for a mix of the old & the new and that's what we have here.  You can find items from the teens (does 2011 count as teens?) going all the way back to half century old camp patches.

I'm sure that as you look on eBay today you will come across many more great auctions that I couldn't find room for.  My statistics show that September was a REALLY good month for the category and I hope that despite the times (or maybe because of it) there will be lots of action on Boy Scout memorabilia this fall.  I'll have more blog posts up this week so be sure and sign up for the email notification on ScoutingHotFinds.com.
