Was just checking out the auction of the 1912 quill and got
around to reading the description ...

quote:

THIS LOVELY SORORITY PIN IS SOLID 14K GOLD AND TINY REAL SEED PEARLS. THIS PIN IS PROBABLY CUSTOM ORDERED AND THUS UNIQUE, IT IS IN EXCELLENT CONDITION. THE GREEK LETTERS, I BELIEVE, STAND FOR ALPHA EPSILOM DELTA. I’VE SOLD SEVERAL OF LILLIAN SMITH’S PATRONS OF HUSBANDRY PINS AND THIS IS HER PERSONAL SORORITY PIN. SINCE SHE WAS A PAST MASTER IN P OF H THIS SORORITY MUST BE CONNECTED TO HUSBANDRY IN SOME FORM. NOTE THE SHAPE OF THE PIN IS A PLOW OR OTHER FARMING TOOL. MARKED ON BACK “LILLIAN SMITH” AND “V’12”. MEASURES 1” X ¼”. .

end-quote...


Now, I've had my quill mistaken for a toothbrush but never, ever,
has it been likened to "a plow or other farming tool" !!!

just shows to go ya that if something MUST be something it probably aint....
