One of my acquisitions from the 30th Annual WNYTA TOR this past weekend was a pocket patch from the 1952 Area 2-E conclave hosted by Tuscarora Lodge #284 and held at their Camp Stonehaven nearly 60 years ago.
In olden times before the Internet, color copies and collecting guides, this patch was altered to be a fake of the 284 R1. Even though the background color is red rather than blue, the inner circle is the same design as the Tuscarora R1.
The OA Section List the following lodges were in Area 2-E at the time:
- Ty-Ohni Lodge #95
- Ganosote Lodge #159
- Chautauqua Lodge #165
- Tuscarora Lodge #284
- Amo’chk Lodge #339
- Tuighaunock Lodge #409
- Wakanda Lodge #186 (to 2-H in 1956)
- Ganeodiyo Lodge #417 (to 2-H in 1956)
