[philmont] Philmont Brand Size

I got key fobs at a leather store for my crew to brand. I'm not sure how
much they cost because the leader who got them for me wouldn't take
payment; we branded one for him when we were on the trail. The brand from
clarks fork was 1.5 inches high. We finished them off with stain and the
rivet when we got home (didn't want to carry the rivets on the trail because
of the weight. :-))
