Offered for your consideration is my personal collection of Boy Scout Order of the Arrow Hytone Lodge 416, (Bluefield, West Virginia) patches from 1957 until it was merged in 1993. There are twenty eight (28) new patches in all. The first patch (F1) was the only twill issue (not fully embroidered) flap ever made and each OA member back in the day only received one (1) patch for their entire life, which makes them quite rare and highly sought after today. The F1 alone often  commands between $200 and $250 should you be able to find one. 

Today, I was asked if the F1 patch listed/shown was in flawless mint condition. I purchased this patch as new/unused years ago from a highly reputable patch collector here in Takhonek Lodge (Buckskin Council) of which I was a member. I added photos of the front and reverse sides for your review. You will note that this is a twill patch with the cheesecloth backing common to patches of the late 1950's. As such, it does not have the same feel or substance as many of the later patches. The border is fairly thin unlike the latter ones produced. If you have any doubts, you probably should not buy this collection. For information, you can compare this flap to two used ones currently offered here for $90.00 and $227.00 (item number 800492989206 and 384445209056 respectively). 

You can view all of the Hytone Lodge issued patches on the OA Insignia website for additional pictures and information. 

This would be a very good opportunity to acquire the entire collection (all patches are sleeved) in a three ring binder.

Please refer to the photographs as they are part of the description. However, if you have any questions, do not hesitate to contact me and I'll do my best to respond quickly.

Thank you for looking!
