[NOTE - Items stored in Safe Sanitized Storage Area, packed with glove/mask wearing virus-free volunteers]
- From our Committee to You: "Stay Safe, Stay Healthy!"
*** NOTE - If an auction item and you do NOT want to wait to end of auction, we consider offers that are usually at least 10 to 30% above the min. bid (a reasonable one please being this is going to a good cause) and if we accept it you do not have to wait for the end. ***
*** (REMEMBER you are bidding on the item(s) in the image - even if our identification information that was provided to us and in our description or title is wrong - we are not experts on this. We have titled to the best of our ability or what was with the item. Nice Vintage Item.) ***
(Remember-Just because one book says that it is a S- something or F- something issue, doesn't mean that there isn't another book - the Lodge - or other collectors that say or used to say something else. The only issue that we are guaranteeing that you will get is the issue in the photo! So please show your Scout Spirit and Fellowship (and not self-service, remember Scout Law number 3+4) as all are non-collector volunteers here working to help raise funds for a good cause!)

** EARLY OA LODGE/National Flap Patch or Set from Famous 50 Year Collection **
Boy Scouts early vintage Order of the Arrow Flap.
Most Unused & Mint - if not mint then marked as VG (Very Good) or G (Good) or perhaps Mint but perhaps a pin hole where pined to board or tape mark on back because of taped in a book.
Sometimes very early flaps will show age spots - NOT from wear but just from the color on the threads starting to break down or perhaps the drawer or book they were in.
Official Council Lodge Issue Patch or Item!
( !!!!!!! Use Photo for Final Determination of Condition !!!!!!! )
*** Makes a GREAT Addition to your NOAC, OA, Lodge, Conclave, Conference, Pow-Wow or MUSEUM DISPLAY Collection. GREAT CONDITION! Just a very nice item. ***
-------------------------------------
VERY VERY Nice OA Lodge Flap.
Thank you.
!!! If you wish to purchase more than one issue in the set price area, ebay suggests you put them into your cart and request a invoice with combined shipping. Good in theory, though sometimes it does not work. Sometimes it is best to just send us a message. We will try to combine for you with 1st Class Package delivery or Priority service - not available on economy service!!!
- Please use photo for final determination on issue and condition -
Remember, issue numbers and date estimates shown are what was with the items up to 30 years ago and may be different today! Some may be slightly worn or not worn but box worn from collection.
Here everything is in very nice condition ready for display. These are an great start for Scouting Heritage or Collecting Merit Badge or for Camp, Council, History or Museum Display!!

*Remember-YOU ARE BIDDING ON WHAT IS PICTURED - NOT AN ISSUE. (We are not experts on these)*
ERA: Circa year stated in title - if stated.
CONDITION*: VERY VERY NICE to Excellent Mint (*Unless Stated Otherwise)
***NOTE - photo should be final determination on condition. What one person considers GOOD another considers VERY GOOD. Some may be said to be VG (Very Good) not because they were ever used, but because they may have been in a collection or drawer and not be perfectly flat. Usually we put Good (if slightly blemished, or taped into a book, or once used, etc.) or Very Good (pretty nice - perhaps never used, or slightly used, but still look nice) or EX, EXCELLENT (Very Nice shape, appears never used) or MINT - (Mint is Mint - almost perfect or better). We are not expert of military, scouting or Red Cross items so what you may be looking for is not what we see. Please keep that in mind. We will try our hardest to help.

SHIPPING
(YES - We will pack with the utmost care and guaranteed to be shipped!)
Option 1) Shipping First Class Package Mail US destinations only. [2 to 7 days] With Tracking.
Option 2) Shipping Economy - AT BUYERS RISK - There is NO Tracking!!! This is the price for EACH item - no combining at this shipping price. Just a nice new yellow #10 envelope and stamps. If you do NOT receive it, we will tell you when we mailed it and how. We also should have a photo of the envelope (usually yellow) we mailed you as well. But we DO-NOT-CONTROL-THE-POST-OFFICE - so please do not blame us if in the middle of the Christmas Mail season and Covid time people shortage you did not get your envelope because YOU chose to not have it tracked. [5 to 14 days]
This option is ONLY for patches sold at 9.99 or less. If they are 10.00 or more then the economy option will be listed as the same price as Option 1 and sent tracked in the same manner. Unfortunately since some people want to open a case rather than request our help or want the lower shipping we will offer this but only under these conditions. We WILL guarantee you it will be packaged safely and mailed in a timely manner!! If you don't get it - JUST LET US HELP YOU and send a message - DON'T send a "I didn't get my item" message as that opens a case instead of asking a question and ebay does not give enough time, usually 48 hours, to have the Post Office find out what happened to your letter.
Option 3) Shipping Priority Mail - US destinations only. [1 to 3 days] With Tracking.
Option 4) International Shipping may be considered by destination country. Please ask in advance for shipping costs to non-US or US Territory destinations. [5 to 30 days]
