Good idea!
I checked with Carrie Hochwalt, Fraternity archivist at Executive Offices. She found a Katherine Bollinger Stimmel, Lambda - Minnesota, Initiated Date 10/1/1892. Date of death 1944.
So the pin is very old indeed!
I would love to know the story behind how it got from her to eBay. Apparently the current top bidder, bluedevil88, is a DG. She has bought several items with anchors - old postcards/greeting cards - and a gold and pearl lavalier that was on eBay back in December. Kate's wonderful old pin stays "in the family."
