I recently picked up an eagle medal that has a ROB-1a scroll with a LARGE CLASP and a pendant that looks like a D&C. At first it was believed that this was just a composite medal that someone put together. I have since located 2 others. 

Again the way to identify this medal is the back of the scroll has a large clasp and is stamped STERLING and the back of the pendant does not show detail feathers like all the other Robbins medals.

Terry Grove and identified this medal as the newly discovered ROB 0.

 
What is it #1
 
 
I have 2 of these medals. The larger one is 37mm high and the smaller one is only 15mm high. The back has the following in raised letters: "BOY SCOUTS OF AMERICA - SEA SCOUTS - BE PREPARED - 1913". These medals were found in the Massachusetts / Rhode Island area.
 
What is it #2
 
 
These patches were found on a merit badge sash from the 1930's. Each patch is approx. 2" round. It may have come from Eastern Massachusetts.  

 Rob Kutz has identified these patches as being from Camp Siwanoy, from the old Siwanoy Council in New York. 

David Wolin identified the "Oak Leaf" Patch was a Program Area patch for Nature. The significant of the "Tomahawk" patch is unknown. 


I bought this patch years ago from a woman whose husband was a Scout in the teens. The lot had a bunch of early BSA merit badges and pins. I told her at first that this patch was not Boy Scout. Then I turned it over and saw the official BSA stamp on the back.


Tiny 15mm tall silver pin with eagle in front of an arrowhead. On one side is the letter "T" and the other side is the number "1".  There is a small vertical locking clasp on back.
