“New” Old Lodges Added

Some may have noticed that the number of lodges cited on the main page of this site has recently gone up by about a dozen. No, there hasn’t been a rush of mergers or consolidations. There haven’t been new lodges chartered in the few councils that don’t yet charter an Order of the Arrow lodge.
There is a seller on eBay that has been producing and selling a number of “private issues”, “replicas”, or place holder pieces. Some have been fakes of obscure and rare issues. Others have been placeholder type pieces for lodges that never issued any insignia. Regardless of what might think about such material it should be noted that he clearly states that these are private issues. No one can honestly claim they were bidding on authentic lodge issues.
