From 1957-59, Aracoma Lodge of the Black Warrior Council (Tuscaloosa, AL) issued their first Neckerchief. The N1 was a very good looking Necker that pictured the lodges totem, the Corn Stalk and was red silk screened on white cotton with Green Silkish piping. Only 100 of these Neckers were ever issued and they were 1 per Life for Brotherhood Members. Next to the Cherokee 50 N0.5 this is easily the most difficult and collectible Neckerchief of the Order in Alabama. As far as numbers go less than five of these are still known to exist. This particular Neckerchief belonged to Tom Hodges who was a member of Kaskanampo Lodge 310, but who attended the University of Alabama at the time. Upon receiving this at Camp Horne he promptly put it in a box where it remained for 50 years. Today it is back with Lodge 481.
A truly unique and rarely seen Neckerchief. Simplistic in nature and design but appealing to the eye.
This is a great blog! I am a former member of Aracoma lodge who has an extensive Aracoma patch collection. This neckerchief is the only piece that I am missing. You are correct. It is a rare item to find!
