These 50 States: Arizona
Posted in 
This is the tenth in an ongoing series of posts about state shaped patches. Previous entries have covered state shaped patches from Alabama, Connecticut, Florida, Kentucky, Montana, North Carolina, South Carolina, Tennessee and Virginia.
Now I turn my attentions to the desert southwest. The lodges of Arizona have had some beautiful and interesting patches thorughout the years. Papago lodge is thought to be the originator of what collectors now refer to as the two-piece set: a pocket flap with a matching pocket patch, usually with a similar theme and sometimes with a continuous design across the two patches. However it appears that only one lodge has issued patches based upon the shape of the state of Arizona.
