Another reason for sale:
In some cases, however, the original owner may have died and the heirs are faced with clearing and closing an estate. I suspect that the fez is one of these cases. It has no meaning for the heirs, but a great deal of significance to us. Better for us to catch it on EBay and save the artifact - and that's what the fez is - rather than have it go in the dumpster with Uncle Bob's old shoes and pajamas.
As an aside, after 30+ years with the Fraternity, I know of only TWO fezzes that have survived: One in San Diego and this one on EBay. Truly something to save.
