An auction recently ended for an old tough issue from New York State. Hanigus Lodge #47 merged with Chappegat Lodge #15 to form Mide Lodge #15 in 1957. They never issued a flap, so even their odd shapes command a premium price.
Clicking on the image will bring you to the auction results for the next few months.
There was just a single bidder who knew what he wanted and who took the patch down for the minimum of $ 899.99

Hi Bill-
Nice piece.
Interesting thing is the image appears a little odd.
The border (upper left) from about the 9 o’clock position to the 10 o’clock position looks like it may have been re-touched…
Is it just me?
Best regards-
Ray
Dear Ray,
I see that too, and I wonder if it is the underlying material.
