07 World Scout Jamboree Bucket Hat.... vendor???

[ffspiel 10]

Greetings all,

 

This is my first post, thanks for any help you can provide.

 

My son attended the WSJ in England this past summer. I purchased a few collectibles some through the BSA (by telephone) and also purchased what they refer to as a "07 WSJ Bucket Hat" (#13207) during a visit to the Van Nuys, CA council gift store. What's the probablility of finding out the original vendor that manufactured this hat (...that I may procure some for our fire department)? Any thoughts on what my chances are of finding out? ...

If it was a BSA WSJ item, it was 'made' by National Supply. They would be the source of finding out who made it for them. But I don't they've give out that info.

 

AFAIK, get the catalogs from various suppliers of such hat/shirts, etc. You might find the same item in their catalogs of items you can order.

Many textile items sold in the United states have an 'RN' number on the tag as a means of identifying the manufacturer (versus the brand name or distributor). If the hat has an RN number, you can search here by number, to identify the maker:
