New Discovery? Lodge #402 Neckerchief
I picked up what I thought was a 402N3 in error, as I had one in my collection, but since the 'new' one was Mint In Package (MIP), I decided to compare it with the one already in my collection. AS luck would have it, the one I already had was also MIP. Then I looked again and relized there were two different backgrounds.
What I had in my collection matched the Blue Book description for the N3, and it had a TRQ silkscreened background. The N4(?) had an LBL silkscreened background
BB V stats are:
N3 - - WHT BRN - M/C TRI SSC design
The next one is:
Both have been scanned through their original sealed palstic bags. Any else have one?

Bill, the N3 you discovered with the LBL background is the intended original version of this neckerchief. The lodge still has the original artwork sample for this design which includes the notation "background sky blue" to symbolize the lodge's totem "mountains in the sky." It is this neckerchief with the light blue background that I list on my site as N3. The example you have in your collection appears to be yet another example of the manufacturer not following the customer's instructions, and should be listed as a variety, say N3.1?
