Kaskanampo 310 Double Shell Prototype Flap

Around 1974 Kaskanampo Lodge moved away from the S4 Perriwinkle Flap (had the wrong shell for the Totem and was known as the "Mistake") to the S5 "Double Shell".  This flap went back to the historic Mussell Shell Totem of the Lodge.  However it was not as clear to some as the older F2's - S1's, S2's & S3's.  Those Flaps had Shells that looked more like Hornet's Nests.  The new S5's looked better but almost resembled a Tornado.  I remember this vividly as this was the Flap I received at my Ordeal in 1974.

The Flap above is the prototype of the Double Shell.  Kaskanampo was noted for its Red bordered and Blue lettering. In this case the manufacturer changed the lettering to Golden Yellow and the border to a Spruce Green.  Needless to say, the Proto Flap turned out to be better looking than the actual Double Shell which kept the traditional Red Border and Blue Lettering.  It is a unique piece in 310 lore.  Likely only two were made and they were rejected by the Lodge / Council.  One of the best looking Flaps never made!
