Lodge 118: Minsi Chapter
Posted in 
This beginning to seem like it’s “Wahissa Week” here. I’m not done yet, either. There will be at least one more post of unlisted Wahissa items to come.
Next up is a piece from Minsi chapter issued in 2000 that has evaded documentation and much notice, until now. This is a patch I would expect to befuddle latter day collectors if it were found outside of its area. There is nothing on the patch, either in the form of text or design elements, that mark it as an issue of Wahissa lodge. Add to the confusion that Minsi is also the name of a merged lodge.
Blue Book style data for this piece is as follows:
| Chapter | Issue | Bdr Color/Type | Bkgd | Name | fdl/BSA | Comments | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Minsi | X4? | SMY | R | PUR | SMY | RECT; SMY 2000 | |

[...] Like the Minsi chapter piece I wrote about a few days ago, these pieces are also likely to confuse collectors if found outside this area or by someone not familiar with the patches.  There is nothing on them to conclusively identify them as issues from Wahissa lodge. [...]
