Well my favorite piece in this block has to be the jacket that is hanging in my closet.  I may get the story wrong but I believe the Pedro wool jacket was an incentive to get professional Scouts to increase Boy's Life subscriptions.  At least that's the story that was passed down to me.  I think it was issued in the 1970s and is pretty classic.  The gentlemen selling this XL below actually writes that he has two and is willing to throw in the dupe for the same price to the winning bidder.

• 1950s Chanco 483 P1 Patch on Neckerchief Old Dominion
• 1950s Camp Okee Patch Peninsula Council VA 463
• Khaki/Red Community Strips from Maryland MD
• Troop Ad Altare Dei Cross Catholic Medal
• 50's-60's Boy Scout Patch Lot - 20 in All

There is a seller out of VA that should be very happy with today's issue as I've featured several of his auctions.  I am thinking about bidding on the Lodge 463 flap myself - that's a good one I don't have.

• Black Hawk Lodge 67 Lot Of 3 Flaps Breast Cancer
• Peta Lodge 300, North Central Montana Council
• 2010 Puerto Rico Patch Set w/ Fire Ghost Patch
• Mint OA Flap Lodge 63 Ohlone First Flap
• Metab Lodge 216 F3 Flap From 1961

 

I don't know if it explains the strong bidding but there is a patch on the Air Explorer shirt below that I've never seen.  It's green and yellow and says "Advisor Trainer".  I don't think it's a BSA issue since I certainly haven't seen it in my Senior Scout reference books.

My son was out sick two days this week with strep throat.  I took advantage of the down time to do a complete inventory of all the boxes in my eBay store inventory.  I put hands on over 8,000 unique items.  To my surprise I turned up hundreds of patches in those boxes that were not live on eBay.  I pulled those and will be getting them ready in a new batch next week. It was sorta like Christmas finding a $100 patch that was just sitting there lonely waiting for some attention.
