I haven't done my homework yet to figure out what the gem patch is on the merit badge sash below.  The old felt camp patch is doing very well as it should from the 1930s in that condition.  Its been a long time since I had statues in here!

• Rare Antique 1930's era Boy Scouts Voyageur Hatchet 
• SEQUOIA COUNCIL 27 CAMP CHAWANAKEE STRIPS  
• Vintage Boy Scouts of America Eagle Scout Patch 
• Participant's Green NC World Jamboree 2003 
• World Moot 1935 participants pin badge  
• ANTIQUE BOY SCOUT K BAR KNIFE SHEATH  
• 1950s Boy Scout Sterling Silver Eagle Scout Medal 

I can say its been a few weeks since there has been any really strong OA getting bids in the Hot Finds.  All that changes today especially with the Pamrapaugh 14 flap and a few of these F1s.

• OA Gila 378 Lodge Adviser's Appreciation purple ghost 
• CHANCO LODGE 483 F1 FIRST FLAP VA 
• WA-ZI--YA-TA LODGE 233 F1 FIRST FLAP FF

• 331 S-1 Klahican OA Lodge Grn Brd 
• OA 1968 AREA 3 D CONCLAVE PATCH WYONA 

I don't remember seeing a hard cover edition quite like that 1963 included here.  Am I the only one who is surprised when simple vintage equipment items like the reflector over bring pretty good bids on eBay?

• Belt Buckle, Max Silber Buckle, Silver Beaver 
• Boy Scout Reflector Oven Outdoor Baking Equipment

I guess there could be a few of the readers who aren't aware that along with 2012 being the 100th anniversary of the Eagle Scout award its also the centennial of the Sea Scouts.  A few councils have produced commemorative items and that CSP below shows there is a lot of interest in them.

• 1930's PLUMB Boy Scouts of America Official Hatchet 
• Huge LOT of Boy Scout Neckerchiefs Slides Coins Pins 
• SCOUT TRANSATLANTIC COUNCIL INTERCAMP LOT 
• 2012 LIMITED EDITION SEA SCOUT CENTENNIAL CSP 
• Collection of 1973 National Jambroree West  
• CAMP RAVEN KNOB 1985 PATHFINDERS PATCH 
• CATTARAUGUS Berkley Howe Co. SCOUTS Pocket Knife 

      

For those of you looking for an update on my Prices Realized series let me fill you in.  The next book is nearing completion and I hope to have it ready by the end of the week.  The focus here is council patches, specifically all forms of shoulder insignia (RWS, CSP, etc) and the old fashioned CPs.  This book will have over 300 items and is sure to contain some real surprises.  How many of you remember the council half strip in Explorer colors from Northern Kentucky that sold for over $1500 even though it was nearly torn in half?  I've also continued to refine the format of the book to make it even more efficient and uniform.  But perhaps the biggest announcement is that very soon you will be able to purchase each of the guides as a printed and bound book IN COLOR.  My printing partner eBay seller radarbsi has invested in the technology to begin printing and selling color versions of all the titles.  Look for that announcement later this week.
