The 1935 and 1937 felt patches are very nice and most often have been sewn or have moth nips. A mint one of either is highly desireable for Jamboree collectors. The neckerchiefs are a little more common as they did not get sewn or eaten. There are adult versions of the neckerchiefs that are also highly desireable.<BR/><BR/>Jamboree items from the 50's and 60's while very collectible are also very common.<BR/><BR/>Handbooks and Boy's Life magazines are very common and must be in MINT condition typically to have any value.<BR/><BR/>You might have some true gems though that are not apparent. Any felt patches from the 1930's are highly collectible and could be worth a great deal of money.<BR/><BR/>Make sure you know what you have before trying to sell it.<BR/><BR/><BR/>Jody...Jody Tuckerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16761248094557156691noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21027595.post-919425686499788282008-11-28T10:58:00.000-08:002008-11-28T10:58:00.000-08:00I have several items of scouting from the 1930's t...I have several items of scouting from the 1930's to the present. I have one 1935 national jamboree patch and 3 1937 national jamboree patches. I also have 4 1937 national jamboree knives and some 1937 national jamboree patches from the netherlands. There are also various pins from the 1937 national jamboree not to mention various handbooks from the 1930's and boys life magazines from the 50's. I also have neckerchiefs that go with the 1937 jamboree and the 1960 jamboree.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21027595.post-10894379703524509892008-11-13T20:55:00.000-08:002008-11-13T20:55:00.000-08:00I have a sash with all the merit patches on it my ...I have a sash with all the merit patches on it my son went all the way to eagle scout.
