Plates

I bet most Scouts would have been spending their money on ice cream or candy at the Trading Post instead of picking up one of these pewter plates. The Bi-Centennial plate was manufactured by the Art China Co. of Sebring, Ohio and measures 6" across. I don't have details yet on the others.

Stock Certificates

These unusual items were apparently part of a fund raising effort. The certificates are printed on parchment-like paper and measure 8x7.5 inches. The year is unknown but clues point to the early 1970s. They list all four of the Council's properties - the Harness Training Center, Camp Wauwepex, Onteora Scout Reservation, and Alder Lake Scout Reservation. Thanks to Brian Issing for the loan of the certificates for use here on this site.
