Thank you for adding that Duke, it's useful. I note on the same site that the USA Poppy Appeal Chairman and the USA Poppy Appeal Representative can be contacted for more info.

Not sure where in PA you are, but I got mine at Tim Horton's (in Detroit, fwiw). If there is one near you, it might be worth a try.

[*Ding*] ... and we have a winner!

Via the Royal British Legion website, I was able to order my half dozen poppies out of "Best of British" in Hampton, Virginia and they should be here in plenty of time. There were also two outlets listed in states closer to me -- one I could easily drive to -- but both said by phone that they no longer sell the poppies.

As a side note, I did call both the American Legion and VFWs in our town and a neighboring town. The folks who answered either had no idea of what I wanted, or said they hadn't seen them sold in years. Few even knew the significance except as a general fundraiser. Maybe the original idea needs to catch on in the US again.

Thank you to everyone who responded with help and ideas. Next year I'll start earlier.

PS: I'd love to have some Tim Horton's in the greater Phila. area. We hit a few when we were in Canada a few years ago and loved 'em!

Good thing you were able to find them outside of Canada.

a very good link. I ordered mine from the UK last year and had to wait until after Christmas as the one I wanted was out of stock [just had to have the clasp repaired as well].

Thanks to this thread, I checked the British Legion site and found a shop within walking distance and got
a couple. Will know next year where to go for new. It occurs that should someone find themselves next
year in the same spot as the OP, I could send to you, probably same day, but now that we know they
can be ordered, we can do ahead and not stress.
