1933 Boy Scout "Jamboree" Shirt, GOODBYE!

[Marc Chevalier]

A last hurrah here before it goes on the eBay auction block this Sunday evening. My eBay seller i.d.: crosby_square

From 1933. In pristine, practically mint condition. Size 16 x 33, which makes me wonder if it was a scoutmaster's shirt. With gussets and bakelite buttons. Note the patches!

It is a Scoutmaster's shirt, and it will probably go for big money. The two square knot patches denote that the shirt's wearer was awarded the Silver Beaver, and Silver Antelope awards, which are the highest awards an adult can receive for service to scouting. Those two patches alone could be worth a couple hundred bucks.

The 1933 World Jamboree patch is rare too.


Be sure to mention the Silver Beaver, and Silver Antelope knots in your description.

That is a wonderful piece of Scouting. I must keep an eye out for the auction.

I have one of those 30's shirts deadstock... I'll take a pic.

Love the patches on that one, it's mighty cool.
