Lodge 118: BSA Centennial Flap
Posted in 
Wahissa 118 S31a?
Earlier this Spring Wahissa lodge issued a flap for the BSA’s centennial. Two varieties are now known to exist, each significant enough in my opinion to be listed. Thanks to Homer Dearmin for news and images of this pieces.
According to Homer Dearmin 500 of these flaps were ordered and placed on sale in March. They quickly sold out. An additional 500 were ordered and put on sale in April. The fronts of the flaps are appear identical however the backs are different. The first run has a plain plastic backing. The second run of flaps has the manufacturer’s and BSA’s official licensee logos on the back. Traditionally significant changes to a patch’s back — eg. cloth, pellon, gauze, changes in the appearance/color of the plastic — have been listed as varieties. With precedent in mind, I propose these be listed as S31a and S31b.
The listing information for these two items are as follows:
| Issue | Bdr Color/Type | Bkgd | Name | fdl/BSA | Comments | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| S31a? | YEL | R | WHT | RED | BLU | 2 fdls. BSA; BSA 100th; plain PB |
| S31b? | YEL | R | WHT | RED | BLU | 2 fdls. BSA; BSA 100th; manufacturer and BSA licensee logos in PB |
