Khaki and Red Strips predated Red and Whites and were in use from circa 1946 to 1953. Here is a half strip from Buffalo Area Council which recently closed on eBay.

“Anyone who clings to the historically untrue — and thoroughly immoral — doctrine that “violence never solves anything” I would advise to conjure up the ghosts of Napoleon Bonaparte and of the Duke of Wellington and let them debate it. The ghost of Hitler could referee, and the jury might well be the Dodo, the Great Auk, and the Passenger Pigeon. Violence, naked force, has settled more issues in history than has any other factor, and the contrary opinion is wishful thinking at its worst. Breeds that forget this basic truth have always paid for it with their lives and freedoms.” – Robert A. Heinlein,
Hi, I collect all New England 1/2 Council strips so I thought I would drop you a line because you never know where or when a need will pop up. I will trade, purchase, cross trade you name it should anyone have one of my needs and is interested. Thank you. Bud
