But neither person knew what lodge that it came...Read More

well... i was not sure exactly which category this should go in-- but whatever is the proper one, there's definitely no question that it's a "Big Jim" item.... i mean... i dunno what your average lawn jockey sells for, but $5,500 seems a bit steep for one unless it's maybe cast in solid gold...

"Our emotional attachment to Scouting, in priority order, is almost certainly: (1) our old troop/Scoutmaster/buddies, but...Read More

Ballenger who at one time in the 1930s was a professional in my home council in South Carolina. He also served councils in GA, FL, and finished his career in OH. His great-nephew is now selling off the collection...Read More
For some reason, I received a cc e-mail from Joe Schloss, a collector from Wyoming who I've worked with at several NOACs, that tendered his resignation from the International Scouting Collectors Association (ISCA) board of directors because of his disagreement about how ISCA Life Membership were being handled.
