Best of the Best

Selected offerings from the Dr. Jeff Morley, Bill Topkis and Dr. Lynn Horne collections

We are pleased to offer items from three life-long collections of Scouting memorabilia. We are handling significant portions of the better items from these collections. These collections combined represent the largest, most complete collection of Order of the Arrow items ever put together. The core of the collection is going to the Las Vegas International Scouting Museum but there was some overlap amongst these collections and the museum’s existing holdings.

Mr. Topkis and Dr. Morley are both recipients of the International Scout Collectors Association (ISCA) Distinguished Service Award, National Editors of the Blue Book Standard Guide for Order of the Arrow insignia, and many more contributions to the hobby. Dr. Horne is the founder and benefactor to the Las Vegas International Scouting Museum (LVISM) the largest display of Scouting memorabilia.

The collections include OA, Section Conclaves, World Jamboree, National Jamboree and insignia. Many of these are 'generational' items. That is, these items only become available when a collection passes from one generation to the next. Many of these items have never before been offered publicly in this way. There has never been an offering of this magnitude of OA items.

This is an advanced preview as we organize this massive collection. Each page has roughly one hundred items. Check here for the offering schedule and sale process. Some of these items will be offered via set-price others by auction. If there is an item you are intersted in, please contact us for availability and price either via e-mail click here or call our office at 734-434-TSPA (8772) and ask for Destry.
