Collecting New York State OA, one patch at a time.
There was recently an auction on eBay, that pictured a wolf’s head in profile. The image is familiar but I can’t find it on OA Images.
The seller was disposing a collection on consignment from a collector who had 95+% of the issues from Thay-En-Da-Ne-Gea Lodge #418.
To the best of my knowledge, it is not from that Lodge. It might not even be a scout patch.
Does anybody recognize the patch?

Having 99% of the 418 Lodge items and having been in the council since 1963 I do not believe it has anything to do with Lodge 418.

Gavin,
I agree it is very unlikely that it is a #418 issue. It was probably added to the collection since the 418 totem was a wolf.
The one nagging thing for me is the design seems familiar. Probably this wolf head design (or a similar one) was used as part of a design I’ve seen on a patch or neckerchief.
