eBay Scouting Hot Finds Newsletter
Weekend Update EditionNovember 18, 2011
Greetings!
This issue of the Scouting Hot Finds features lots of nice but reasonably priced insignia patches including ranks, position patches and more.  You can find everything from a veteran patch to Air Explorer wings.  All of these auctions have a very narrow window of 36 hours before they close so be sure and click on them now while they are attracting bids like bees to honey.    
Vintage Scouting Memorabilia Ending Soon!
There are some really neat items in here that I just have to brag on. The really old Scout hat is probably one of the older ones that I've had in the newsletter in a long time.  My favorite auction has to be the pair of Official BSA Hiking Boots.  They weigh 4 pounds but they look tough enough to go to war in.  The vintage Cub Scout lot has some surprises as you'll see when you check it out.

There is only one problem with the Section 7 OA patch below.  It was meant to demonstrate that currently that section is split between an "A" in VA and the "B" in North Carolina.  However, there are 4 lodges in the Tarheel state that aren't in Section 7 at all.  Oh well!  Hey so the seller of the ribbon pin has it down as the 85th anniversary but certainly that is the 75th from 1990 - the turtle is the dead giveaway.

The Clock Is Ticking On These Great Pieces
I was able to keep this last block very vintage in flavor.  Ok the Azerbaijan contingent patch doesn't fit that description but hey its selling for over $80 so I had to put it somewhere.  So far I think the steal in the group is the combination scribe/1st Class badge.  While I know that is one of the more common varieties its still less than $40 as I write this post.

I have another round of the Price is Right running on the Facebook page.  So far nobody is even close to winning and the auction we are using has a couple of days before it closes.  If you want to play and take a chance on winning a merged OA flap click here.  I'm picking up steam with more new ideas so be sure to "like" the Facebook page so you can keep up with new things as they are published.
