Looking for Trading Stock?
Over the past several years I have accumulated an abundance of flaps. This is an opportunity for you. I can now offer lots of ten (10) different and assorted flaps, all mint and no spoofs/fakes, for $40 postpaid to US addresses.
Please, at this time this is a limit of one lot per person. No requests for particular issues or lodges can be honored. My extras are stored in boxes and I will pull them out ten at a time at random.
If interested please send payment via PayPal to me at jpannell@triad.rr.com. Please remember to include your address. Thanks and happy collecting!

Lodge 296: Region Chief Flap, "MVE"
Greg Grimes recently sent me this image of two RED bordered 2012 Home of the Region Chief flaps, showing something he noticed about them. Apparently there may be thin and thick letter variations in this issue. To me this is not significant enough to be listed as a variety. It is for cases like this that my site uses the notation, "MVE" (minor variations exist).
I told Greg I would share this image with fellow collectors. What do you think? Chase after this variation or not; that is completely up to you!

Breast Cancer Patch Checklist
Now that there is a growing list of breast cancer related patches as well as a devoted group of collectors chasing after them, I thought now is a good time to put together a list of those issues. I now know of at least 18 issues from 12 lodges, including a key fob and one chapter issue.
"Continue reading" to see the list.

Ahoalan-Nachpikin Issues Breast Cancer Flap
Ahoalan-Nachpikin lodge from Memphis, TN has joined the growing list of lodges (and one chapter) that have issued patches in support of breast cancer research. As with many others, this issue is also a pink monochrome. Thanks to Nick DeMarco for supplying this image.
If you know of any other patches that have been issued for this cause, please either send the images to me or comment on this post below. Thanks.

Presently on a few issues are shown. If you know of any that should be added, please let me know. This list should grow rapidly as we get closer to NOAC.

Archive for NE-4C Lodges
Nentico Lodge held the 2008 Spring Fellowship at Broad Creek’s Camp Spencer the weekend of April 18-20. The fellowship focused on preparing to host the NE-4C Conclave. The patch design features a hard hat, a shovel based on the OA arrow logo, and what I sincerely hope is a pile of dirt.

The first Northeast Region conclave of 2008 was held this past weekend, May 16-18, at Camp Spencer of Broad Creek Memorial Scout Reservation. Nentico Lodge #12 was the host. This was the last event for Section NE-4C as it is currently constituted. Starting this summer, Nentico, Nentego #20, Guneukitschik #317, and Amangamek Wipit #470 will form NE-6A, while Susquehannock XI and Tuckahoe #386 will join three other lodges in NE-6B.

Yesterday I posted elsewhere about the discovery of a new faker selling on eBay. The faker is selling out of Germany under the name patch--world (with two hyphens).
This morning I found the patch pictured here, a fake of the hard-to-find Nentico Lodge #12 X4. The most obvious difference between the fake and the real X4 is that the fake is computer-made and of modern manufacture. In addition, the arrowhead is significantly different: the X4 arrowhead is more rounded and has details where the head and shaft join, while the fake arrowhead is more pointed and lacks any details at the base of the arrowhead.

Nentico Lodge held the 2007 Fall Fellowship at Broad Creek the weekend of September 7-9. The event theme was “Pirates of Broad Creek”, and the patch features a skull with an eyepatch in front of crossed Ordeal and Brotherhood arrows.
The patch design also includes Nentico’s totem eagle design rendered twice as a black on black ghost.

I have been forwarded an image of what appears to be a new privately issued flap to commemorate noted collector Jim Greenbeck’s 50th year in the lodge. The flap is based on the 12F1 with the same cut-edged shape and the arrow pointing to the right; the letters “WWW” are in gold mylar instead of red and additional gold mylar lettering is used for the commemorative text.

A quick introduction: I’m Dave Scocca, and I’ve volunteered to help keep the site updated on issues from Nentico Lodge #12 in the Baltimore Area Council. I’ve been commenting on this blog for a while, and I maintain a website of patches from Baltimore Area Council including CSPs, activities, and camps.
At the 2007 Lodge Picnic this past weekend, Nentico Lodge issued the first CSP in lodge history. The design resembles the classic white lodge flap, with red lettering and border. The Blue Book information will be:

| Nentico 12 page on OAImages.com |
This item is also listed on my page of Baltimore Area Council CSPs; it will end up classified as the SA-89 if my counting is correct.
While the CSP debuted at the Lodge Picnic, there was no picnic event patch issued this year.

April Fool!
It should go without saying that my post about this site being sold to a Google/eBay partnership was my annual April Fool's post. I have no plans at this time to give up or sell this web site. Long time readers will know this has become quite the tradition here and I usually start planning the posts several months in advance. The most famous (infamous?) of these was 2008's post concerning the abolishment of lodge names. It still creates difficulty from time to time for those in authority in the OA and BSA due to the inability of some to detect obvious (in my opinion) satire.

OAImages Soon Under New Ownership
This post contains important information regarding the future of this website. Please read carefully.
Many have noticed that I have found it hard to maintain this website for quite some time now. Due to various reasons, some of them beyond my control, updating the price guide regularly has become all but impossible. Things have become a bit less chaotic, but after 15 years this has become a chore. I also know that there will come the day when control of this site will need to be passed to another. With all that in mind, I have been considering various options for the future of OAImages. In the midst of this, a several months ago I was contacted by someone who made me an offer that was too good to resist. After many months of negotiations I am now free to announce that this site has been purchased by a combined partnership of Google and eBay. This will be effective July 1, 2012.

Tschipey Achtu Lodge: Update
Back in 2010 I announced the formation of Tschipey Achtu lodge as a result of the merger of Ty-Ohni 95 and Ganeodiyo 417. At the time I was told they would use the number 397, which is also their council number. This created a bit of controversy as that number is currently in use by Chilantakoba lodge in Louisiana. I also announced their first flap. Other than a 2010 Jamboree issue no further news from this lodge made it to me.
I was talking with a Roger Ward last night who was at the recent Winter South Carolina Trade-O-Ree. He tells me it has not been quiet in that lodge. The use of 397 was problematic. Many wanted to choose a different number. Some wanted to claim the number zero, but that was not well received given the special place Unami 1 holds in the Order of the Arrow. The Scout Executive, I am told, stepped in and told the lodge they will use the lower number from the two merged lodges.
The lodge is now known as Tschipey Achtu 95. I have updated the site to reflect this current information. Several new issues have also been added.

An OAImages iPad App?
Some of those who know me personally, know that I have gone over to the "Dark Side" and have started using Apple products. I bought an iMac a couple of months ago and just recently got an iPad. My brother is trying to tell me that my Droid's days are numbered.
I really like my iPad and started day dreaming about an OAImages app for it. I have no idea how to go about writing this and it would take me into an entirely new area from what I know. It's not something that would happen easily or soon. Here's your chance to give feedback. What do you think about an OAImages app? What would you put in it? Do you have any thoughts on how it would be distributed or how much it would cost?

Coming out of Hiding About April 1st
It's kind of odd to come out of hiding to post about a topic like this.
I'm hearing from some brothers that there have been gullible readers to this blog over the years. I would have thought it was obvious from the context of the posts, but the various posts made on this blog throughout the years that have appeared on APRIL FIRST are all satire. None of them are true. Read them and chuckle but please do not complain to your friendly OA National Committee members, Scout Executives, lodge advisers, or official website administrators about the "changes" that are "announced" in them.
