Another new discovery, this one from Nooteeming Lodge #443 for you completists.
The origianl listing for the S8, called for a Cloth Back (CB). Irv Block brought a Plastic Back variety (PB) to my attention. After checking with several 443 collectors and lodge members, it appears this variety was never listed in the Blue Book.
So for those who collect both the front and the back.
Blue Book Stats:
S 8 a RED R M/C BLK BLK FDL’s; RED ARROW, BLK WWW, 443; CD; CB
S 8 b RED R M/C BLK BLK FDL’s; RED ARROW, BLK WWW, 443; CD; PB

George,
Thanks for the kind words. It keeps me interested and motivated to work on keeping up with the new and newly discovered items between editions of the Blue Book and allows me to give back a little something to the collecting community.
I’m standing on the shoulders of some giants and just continuing their work. Not to slight anyone, but in NY over the years there have been a number of collcetors who have helped to bring knowledge to the collecting community. Al Rosenberger, George Fox, Joe Mirenda, Don Vanderbilt, Bob Connor and many others. I’m honored to be in their company.
Bill

Talk about feling like a heel (and not my usual TARheel self, either!) – I SOLD that patch to Irv!!! I coulda submitted it, and got credit myself!
That’s OK – I got it from Nick Lombardo before that – give HIM the credit. 🙂
