    Description

    For auction is this nearly 6 decades old Boy Scout Sash worn by my deceased brother-in-law in the early 1960s. As I suppose is typical, the sash was rarely worn so it is in great shape. It bears the following merit badges: Canoeing, Drafting, Carpentry, Handcarving, Reading, Fingerprinting, First Aid, Printing, Life Saving, Swimming, National Citizenship, Community Citzenship, Camping, Automobiling, Cooking, and Safety. I think some of these merit badges are discontinued, combined or replaced, and therefore obsolete. The Drafting merit badge in particular(1st row, center) seems to be of an older style patch where the surrounding cut fabric of the patch was folded under rather than having the more modern style merrowed edge.
