What I collect

I collect a wide variety of scout items. Below are some of my favorites:

Aluminum Neckerchief Slides

Plastic Round Neckerchief Slides

Civic Service Patches

Citizens Now Explorer Patches

Flat Brass Belt Buckles

These were popular from the 1950’s thru 1970’s and were made for Camps, Councils, Order of the Arrow Lodges, Districts, etc. Here are a few pics of some of my collection:

H. Roe Bartle Items

NEAL Slides

Made by Neal’s Novelty Shop in Biddeford, Maine. These distinct looking slides were made for most very activity in scouting. Camps, Councils, Order of the Arrow Lodges, Districts, Jamborees, Regions, etc. I’m particularly interested in painted ones such as those pictured below.

Jamboree Contingent Patches

Sea Scout Items

Sherman Landman Slides

War Service & Victory Items

Woven Patches

The most popular maker of these was the Apache Company out of Kansas City.

Camp Osceola / H. Roe Bartle Scout Reservation

Camp Geiger / Pony Express Council

Hello. I stumbled upon your website while looking for something on google. I had some questions about what you collect:

1) In your belt buckles, on the second photo, second to last column, second to last row, there is one that says “Mt. Allamuchy”. I have never really collected belt buckles, but on the otherhand there is very little from the camp that I don’t have at this point. I think I have picked up a few of these buckles as part of ebay lots, etc. over the years. If I have one that you don’t have, would you consider trading this Allamuchy buckle?

2) I saw that you collect some of the early jamboree contingent patches. Do you have any of the Morris-Sussex contingent patches from any jamboree from 1969 or earlier? I’m just trying to get scans of ones that I am looking for.

Thanks,
Eric

I have a XIII World Jamboree Neckerchief, uniform patch, jacket patch and neckerchief slide all never used in the original clear plastic bag. I believe it was from 1970. Bag was sliced open just to insert the slide and patches.

Was wondering if you had a double on either a Pahaquarra Neal slide or the Yards Creek flat buckle? I collect both of those camps and am looking for both items.

Thanks.
