Lodge 270: Recent York Chapter Issues
Three new patches have recently been issued by York chapter of Skyuka lodge. One is reported to me as an “error” that the chapter decided to use. The other two are standard issues with a new design. Thanks to Jimmy Summers for sending news and images of these new issues.
The first issues, labeled York Chapter “X7?”, has been reported as an “error”. It is similar to the “X6?” except the gold mylar fleur d’lis (fdl) has been changed to dark yellow. Reportedly only 27 were made. These are being issued to members of the chapter’s 2008 unit elections team, one per person.
The next two issues feature a new shield shaped design. The “X8?”, pictured, has a gold mylar fdl and has a one per person restriction. The “X9?” has a turquoise fdl and is sold with a restriction of two per person for each chapter meeting attended.
The “X8?” and” X9?” were first sold at the lodge’s Fall Fellowship without any loops attached. The remaining stock was returned to the manufacturer so that pocket loops could be added. These should probably be listed as varieties once their release is confirmed.
The listing data for these new chapter issues are as follows:
| Chapter | Issue | Bdr Color/Type | Bkgd | Name | fdl/BSA | Comments | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| York | X7? | M/C | C | M/C | RED | DYL | fdl; Large YORK, RED loop, 2008 |
