When I first got the email about this collection my interest spiked because one of my favorite patches was in the pictures. Turns out I was buying the collection of a Scouter who must have done a good bit of swapping in the 1970s based in the Baltimore Area Council of Maryland. It looks like the Scouter attended the 1977 National Scout Jamboree based on some other stuff in the box. He accumulated a nice stack of Order of the Arrow flaps. Curiously for many of the flaps he had 2 of the same issue. When I spoke later to his son about this he kinda said “huh” and really had no idea why his dad would have done that.
If you want to see my “After the Unboxing” video on this collection please consider joining my Patreon group the Scouting Hot Finds Insiders. In that video I get back on camera after researching what some of the best pieces in the collection are. You might appreciate the extended commentary if you are really a thread head like me!
