Does anyone know what lodge this flap is from? I have heard from two different sources (one from an older trader at the 2009 NOAC that had one) that the youth in the lodge didn’t want a flap that people wanted to trade for, so they made this generic flap. But neither person knew what lodge that it came from.
This is not one of the Trader Bill flaps. I believe it dates from the 80’s and showed up at one of the NOACs. It is a pure spoof and not attributable to any youth from any lodge.
Now that is one ugly patch!
The Generic Lodge Flap was produced for the 1983 Section 5-B Section Conclave held at either Camp Stigwandish or Camp Tuscazoar in Ohio. It was either a Stigwandish Lodge or Sipp-o Lodge produced item and was for sale during the Conclave. It was a popular item for trading at the 1983 NOAC at Rutgers University and made the slide show at the close of the NOAC.
It is, in fact, a Stigwandish 114 F1 issue. It was produced specifically for the 1983 NOAC at Rutgers. It was suggested by Camp Ranger, Earl Hensel and designed by the Lodge Executive Committee when I was the Lodge Chief. During the NOAC, lodge members were able to trade one of these for as many as five other flaps. The original order had white paper backing. A second run was produced with a plastic backing. Two machines were used to make the first order…one used s black backstitch and one used a blue backstitch.
