Vintage 1970s Boy Scout Patch Lot Field Cap Blue Card Northern IN Time Capsule
DESCRIPTION:
***COMPLETE 1970s SINGLE-OWNER BOY SCOUT TIME CAPSULE - NORTHERN INDIANA COUNCIL***
***PROVENANCE MATCHED: HANDWRITTEN FIELD CAP & ORIGINAL 1976 MERIT BADGE BLUE CARD***

Up for sale/sale is an incredible, museum-quality estate lot mapping out the complete scouting history of a single youth—Scout Ken Moe—in the Northern Indiana Council (Potawatomi District / Unit 389) during the early to mid-1970s.

This entire collection has been kept beautifully intact and includes a massive array of patches meticulously arranged, along with his official uniform field cap and original paper council documentation.

CRITICAL PROVENANCE & HISTORICAL HIGHLIGHTS:
- The Match: The inside of the included Official BSA Khaki Field Cap (Size Large 7 - 7 1/8) features the hand-inked name "MOE" on the factory designation line. This flawlessly matches the original, crisp Fingerprinting Merit Badge "Blue Card" (Form No. 3414) issued to Ken Moe on December 6, 1976, signed by the Scoutmaster.
- Order of the Arrow Rarities: Includes TWO identical vintage pocket flaps for SAKIMA LODGE #573 (featuring the Native American chief and river scene). Sakima Lodge has since merged out of existence, making these highly sought-after regional pieces.

WHAT IS INCLUDED:
1. Official BSA Khaki Garrison/Field Cap (Size Large, name-stamped "MOE")
2. Original 1976 Fingerprinting Merit Badge Blue Card (Unit 389)
3. Large Patch Collection Display Layout, featuring:
