Tuesday Scouting Hot Finds Newsletter January 14, 2025
Monday I spent most of the day working my route. In the morning I priced a lot of stuff for my antique mall booth. Before lunch I headed out there to restock the space including totally revamping all the art and framed patches on the wall. I could have spent more time there but had an appointment to see a local collection.
Over the years I’ve been able to purchase a handful of Charlotte collections. Usually these are from people who did their Scouting somewhere else and ended up in the Queen City. This time a family I had been taking to since November was finally ready for me to come see the memorabilia. If I told you that 85% of what I purchased was books you would be shaking your head.
But there was a frame in the collection with 6 patches (yes only 6!) that made it all worth the effort. I also got a small box with some nice stuff from a lodge in the Carolinas that also was a win. So sometimes you gotta take all of it (including the ceramic Rockwell plates) in order to make the package deal work.
On eBay I have 121 live auctions running. The first wave of these sends tonight including the cool 1940 Sea Scout National Fleet lot pictured below. Every day I am launching additional fixed price and auction listings.

I started collecting Boy Scout memorabilia when I was inducted into Santee Lodge 116, Order of the Arrow at Camp Coker in the summer of 1986. All the guys of ISWA chapter in Elk campsite seemed to be trading and since my dad sent me to camp with a small bag of patches, I jumped in and never looked back....
