When Old is New

Posted in OAImages News, Patch Collecting by John E. Pannell on November 29th, 2006 at 6:21 am

z123zs1.jpg A new line of “replicas” is being sold on eBay by beaver95_1.   This group all picture old lodges that had changed their names without ever issuing a patch.

So far the lodges are Zitkala-sa 123, Blackhawk 140, Nipperine 155, Doog Gnituocs 164, and Hilo-Hos-Kula 205.

Sometime soon these five “new names” and their patches will be added to my site.

    I still maintain that this guy is brilliant. I never thought to crank out flap from lodges that never issued anything. The thought it still tempting when you consider the number of idi….people who are bidding on them.

    On an unrelated note, Doog Gnituocs 164 must go down as the most unoriginal name for a lodge. Does anyone not see what it is? It would have been more hidden if they did something like (I will be adding a word) Do-Ogsig-Ni-Tu-Ocs. This makes the lodge name more pronounceable and adds the much needed “is” (unless you are conflicted over what the definition of is is.)

    I just searched on eBay for this person’s items. I have found more than a dozen additional flaps, all for old lodge names with no known authentic items.

    It appears he started at the beginning with Trenton 2 and Indiandale 5 and is working his way through the lodge numbers.

    Many of the patches failed to get a bid.
