The seller described the neckerchief as:
The gentleman I purchased this neckerchief from was inducted in 1952. He indicated that he had been given this NC by his Lodge Advisor. The NC had been issued prior to 1952 and was no longer available. Not listed in BLUE BOOK. Previously unknown issue.
There were 29 separate bids in this auction, which started at $ 499.99. While there were 5 separate bidders, three bidders chased this up to near five figures.
With less than 20 minutes two go, the bidding was over $ 5,000. From there is was quickly driven up to $ 10,000.
A bidder in the last 10 seconds drove the price up another $ 4,000.
When the hammer finally came down, it was over $ 14,650.
