Don't Miss This One...!!!
This Wipala Wiki OA Lodge was formed in 1950 and later in the late 1970s incorporated several older and/or smaller lodges from that area... Papago and Salado OA Lodges in particular. This very large size jacket back patch is from the collection of a former Boy Scout and long time Scouting supporter who happens to be a very good friend of mine. He collected these when he lived in Arizona from the late 1950s through the late 1970s. This is the 1st group of the Section Conclav portion of his patch collection....... Stay tuned..!!
Many of these patches we will be offering in the coming weeks were from small Arizona towns that have been absorbed by their larger neighbors several decades ago... or they simply lost population and, either way, basically no longer exist......

This patch is a multi-colored Schiffli embroidery patch with a blue and tan background (photo 1) with white feathers, a light (light) blue area behind the totem head and other embroidered foreground features - bright yellow, red, purple and brown. Black lettering. A red cut-edge border, the
fleur-de-lis
are
red
(photo 2) and the patch as a whole has absolutely stunning colors, with no fading what-so-ever, and is in absolute mint condition. Note the medium blue color of the details.. most of these had pale blue details.... The patch was
carefully stored
all these years and never sewn onto a jacket or uniform.
...
This beautifully embroidered patch measures 5" high and about 3" wide at its widest point (xxmm H x xxmm W (approx.)).
I don't collect Boy Scout patches myself, so I am putting it out there for my friend to find a new home with someone who does.
In the coming weeks we will be offering his entire collection of OA Conclave Patches from the 1960s, 70s and 80s, primarily from the Southwest United States, and a VERY RARE, Wipala Wiki OA Lodge #432 enameled metal, pocket patch design, neckerchief slide... VERY RARE..!!
...Stay Tuned...!!!!!
Note
:
The patch is in Very Fine++++ to Excellent, near Mint, slightly used condition.
This rare 1977 OA Wipala Wiki Lodge #432  (host) for the W-4-C Section Conlave large format pocket button patch (Arizona), BSA is absolutely original to the period and is directly from this man's personal Boy Scout memorabilia.

You will also find non-military items listed which we find to be unique and interesting along with a few things for the girls.
The posted picture(s) is what you will receive if you win the bidding.
PayPal is required.
If you desire alternate payment methods please email me, I am pretty flexible. Credit cards are accepted through PayPal (only) at the present time. Patches may have glue and scrap book paper on back. If they do I will post a photo showing that.
Note, due to ever increasing shipping costs, most patches below
may
be shipped in a plain envelope with suitable protection. Patches (over ), metal badges, etc., will be shipped in a padded envelope.
Payment must be sent within 10 days
or
item

I will combine shipping with multiple wining bids and get buyers the best price.
If the shipping cost is over estimated, I will refund any amounts over .00
.
I have a very good track record of having done so, rest assured!
Please note that once I mail the item, delivery is beyond my control. Almost always there will be a tracking number. There is no return on paper items such as books, magazines, etc.
To my valued future customers, I work a regular job and my work hours are 8am-5 pm making it nearly impossible to ship Tuesday through Friday. Saturday, Monday and Tuesday are my shipping days. I try to get your items out as soon as possible but some times 5 or 6 days may be needed to get your goods in the mail. Please if you have some special need of overnight/2nd day shipping let me know and I will do my best to make you happy. My careful descriptions should detail any issues/problems with anything I am selling, if there are any.
Attention Overseas Buyers:
Please contact me about shipping rates before bidding! All items over in value
must
be shipped by insured international methods.
Please
be aware that random inspections or delays of international items can result in total shipping times of up to 4 to 6 weeks (
usually 2 to 3 weeks
).
Depending on your location, prohibitions, customs, duties or import taxes may apply at the point of delivery.
Please check with your USPS-servicing deliverer to determine if you will be subject to these additional costs or restrictions.
NOTE
:
As of March 2015 we will no longer be shipping to Mexico because of rampant fraudulent buyers and lack of seller support from eBay and PayPal
to mitigate the problem

Thank You to my, good, former customers in Mexico
- Sorry for any inconvenience..!!
eBay's fees are very expensive and you can help me keep costs down  by giving top numbers in detailed seller ratings (DSRs). If you feel there is a problem just let me know before you leave feedback so I have a chance to resolve any issue. NM sales tax will be charged to New Mexico residents only.
I will gladly combine on the shipping but please WAIT to pay so I can easily combine your shipping total. I will happily sell overseas, but I insist (as does eBay) on shipping with a tracking number of some sort via priority or express.
I will not declare a lower amount on the customs form! Please do not ask me to do so.
I welcome buyers from all over the world. Thank you for looking!
