Vintage Boy Scouts of America (BSA) Memorabilia Lot - 7 Patches & Brass Slide
This is a fantastic collection of vintage Boy Scout memorabilia, primarily focusing on the mid-1980s era and councils in the New York State area. All items are in Excellent Vintage Condition, showing minimal wear and no signs of having been sewn onto a uniform.
Lot Includes 8 Pieces:
1. Governor Clinton Council Strip Patch (1910-1985): Commemorating the 75th Diamond Jubilee of the council. This piece is a key dating element for the lot.
2. Rotary Scout Reservation Patch (1983): Features a Thunderbird design, marking an event from a popular camp (likely in New York).
3. Uncle Sam District Fall Camporee Patch: A classic event patch, likely from the same region and era as the Rotary patch.
4. Other District & Event Patches (4 Total): A collection of colorful, embroidered patches for various camporees and district events.
5. Vintage Brass Neckerchief Slide: A simple, high-quality brass slide used to hold the neckerchief in place.
Era/Date: The patches clearly date this lot to the 1983-1985 period, making them excellent collector items for anyone interested in 1980s BSA history or the Governor Clinton / Twin Rivers Councils.
Condition Note: The patches are clean and crisp, and the brass slide has a natural vintage patina that collectors often prefer.
