Netawatwees Lodge 424

 

    From 1957-1975, the Lodge was known as Netawatamass Lodge.  The name was changed to Netawatwees in 1975.

  The colors of the borders on the flaps usually determine the type of flap:

  • RED = Ordeal member
  • WHITE = Brotherhood member
  • BLUE = Vigil Honor member
  • BLACK = Trading flap
  • Other colors are used for commemorative issues

  The patches shown are in the order listed in "Blue Book 6" and "The Internet Guide to OA Insignia".  At the end, there are several flaps that are not in the book yet.  Where there are variations, I have noted some characteristics to aid in identification.
