Vintage Boy Scout Kings Crown Flag Pole FINIAL Troop Wolf Cubs Rovers Venturer Sea Scouts S2002B
DESCRIPTION: Imperial Crown / Tudor Crown / King’s Crown finial, Boy Scout cast BRASS flag Pole finial, socket type, sometimes described as a flag pole mount or flag pole topper, Kings Crown variety, great vintage Scouting collectible, a wonderful display item for a collector of Scout memorabilia or perhaps a perfect addition to a flag pole currently being used in your Scouting activities to add the extra impact
-this finial was produced for use in Scouting in Canada and first appeared in the 1937 Boy Scouts of Canada Official Catalogue, eventually this design was discontinued and replaced with a Queen's Crown design as noted below
-after the Long Reign of Queen Elizabeth II this style of finial may now be used again, I am fairly sure that this style of crown is associated with King Charles III , if anyone knows for sure please let me know
SIZE: -measures approximately 3 1/8 inches by 5 5/84 inches in height and width or 8 cm by 14.5 cm in height and width, from my review of vintage Boy Scouts of Canada Boy Scouts Price Lists and Catalogues I believe this style was introduced in 1937, then production was discontinued in 1963 when a similar design finial with the Queen’s Crown (Royal Crown / St. Edward’s Crown) was introduced, not quite certain which Crown will be used by the King Charles III
-after first the two
designs may seem similar, upon closer examination one will notice that that the
arches rise to the center on the King’s
Crown while the Queen’s Crown has rounded
arches
-some early styles of the finials were one sided, all
were socket type that fit over the pole, they often had a screw to hold the
finial in place, later styles (in the 1960’s) were threaded and then screwed onto
a brass holder that was attached to a flag pole)
-most of the brass finials found have a rich patina, others were
regularly polished over the years which I understand was the custom in some Scouting
Groups
-I believe this style of finial was only used in Canada and not in
other commonwealth countries and territories such as the United Kingdom,
Australia, Canada, Hong Kong, Malaysia, Singapore, South Africa and New Zealand
but if anyone knows for sure please let us know

Extra Images I
have included some additional images in this listing. These finials are
NOT part of this listing. You are buying
only the finial listed in the title and in the initial description. These extra
photos show some of the Boy Scout finials in my collection. Some
of the other styles I do have spares. If I have any spares, those finials are or will be listed on eBay in the very near future.
Some of the finials in the images were used throughout the UK, Canada, Australia, New Zealand and other Commonwealth jurisdictions. Other finials were designed and used in specific countries. Two designs created and used ONLY in Canada featured a King's Crown and then a Queen's Crown after the Coronation of Queen Elizabeth II. If anyone knows of any other designs used in Scouting worldwide, please do consider messaging me.
