These 50 States: Connecticut
Posted in 
This is the ninth in an ongoing series of posts about state shaped patches. Previous entries have covered state shaped patches from Alabama, Florida, Kentucky, Montana, North Carolina, South Carolina, Tennessee and Virginia.
As we approach the Thanksgiving and Christmas holidays, the egg nog drinking season, I thought I would turn my attention to looking for patches in the shape of the Nutmeg State.
I could only find one patch shaped like Connecticut. This is the J1 from Owaneco 313. The lodge’s territory in the southeastern portion of the state is outlined in blue.
Several other patches used the shape of Connecticut in their designs.
The first and only flap from Keemosahbee 234, listed in Blue Book as S1, uses the shape of Connecticut as a major part of its design. The design divides the state into several pieces, that I thought might be the various lodges’ boundaries but that doesn’t seem to be so.
Keemosahbee 234 later merged with Woapalanne 471. The resulting lodge, Wihungen 234, recycled the design of Keemosahbee’s S1 with their S4.
Tankiteke 313 used rough onlines of the states of Connecticut and Colorado on their 1988 NOAC issues, listed in Blue Book as S29 as S30. So far these are the only patches I can find that use some representation of the shape of Colorado in their design. I’ll cover these later when I get to the state of Colorado.
The last patch I could find using the shape of Connecticut was the 35th anniversary flap from Arcoon 369, listed in Blue Book as S12a and S12b.
As I always ask, have I missed any? Do you know of any other patches shaped like Connecticut or prominently using the shape of this state in their design?
