I picked up this BPOE crest and seal a couple of weeks ago. Before I got this chip, I knew of only 97 lodges that used crest and seal chips (I say this after consulting with most, if not all, of the big bpoe collectors).
The part that I like the best is that #1432 is the Lakewood, NJ lodge which is about 5 to 10 minutes from my house. What are the odds with a couple of thousand lodges that I find a previously unknown c&s on my doorstep?
Btw, cleaning helps as you can see.
