That's so interesting that this might be a badge that pre-dates the standardization of your badges - thanks for sharing that info.
It is sad to see GLO badges for sale on auction sites. I buy unusual Theta stuff for my own use occasionally (have yet to buy a badge), but I do try to research any identifiable Theta badges I see. (I would never buy another GLO's paraphernalia, though I know there are people who collect GLO items.)
From what I've found, a majority of the badge sales on eBay are from estate sales - heirs of members don't know a pin is in the jewelry box, don't know what it is, or don't know what to do with it, so it ends up for sale. However, I have found a few that have been stolen/missing, sadly. I don't think many are being sold by sisters.
I hope one of your lovely members got this interesting badge!
interfraternally,
Jane
