I figure just one big thread will do for eBay. No sense having one for each goody I find.

Old Pocket Watch:
The three Greek letters πολ represent a fraternity chapter - Pi Omicron Lambda - known to be at a Southern college (Centenary-Louisiana, founded 1825; Shreveport, Louisiana). The flags are presumably the Frat Chapter flags. Pi Omicron Lambda was founded in 1923, installed Mar. 31, 1925 and became dormant in 1958. It was a chapter of the Lambda Chi Alpha Fraternity, which still exists today.

I am aware it by the time most people read this will be over, I just found it. Pretty cool though. TKN chapter dormant for almost 50 years, too bad.

Brother,

You are observant....

Thanks Mike. I always told my mom growing up that spending hours on the computer would get me somewhere.

A pseudo ebay post as I just saw these listed on Ebay this morning, they are selling these things:
http://www.greekbeads.net/lambdachialpha.php

I can't imagine these are licensed products. I have no problem with Nationals trying to make money and to not to sound critical, but do they ever block the sale of products? I mean the leather thing is kinda cool, I would never wear it, but the Mardi gras beads on the other hand are a bit tacky.

Whatever, but if I saw one of my guys wearing those I would kick them.

Don't kick 'em...these guys are licensed. The pain of paying all of the licensing fees outdoes any damage inflicted by your feet.

Regardless if they are legal, I would get out my wingtips if I saw someone trying to sport those ugly things.

Reason why I asked to begin with was because most every greek based store carries that little officially licensed product logo, they do not have it. Unless I missed it.

Brother Dever, You are once again amazing even if I did not like you!

Wowie you are a History Nutsoid!

Looks like this item may go High, High and High!

I would bid, but do not have any clothes that have pocket watch spaces!

here is something with Pappy's Signature

[Trey_P-I_47]

ehhh i was looking fr the thread about the history but this will work just fine.

Theres one up there now for $70, which is down from last week when he listed it for $150. It looks priced to sell now, anybody needing one?

[JonoBN41]

If you guys want to see something cool, there's a High Alpha Pendant on ebay (# 150245869418 ). The owner was from the class of 1929.

Obviously, these are not issued anymore so I need to get back into the research and try to find out when they came and went.

Even though ebay hides IDs now, I will tell you I have the current bid and hope to pick it up. Please take a look and wish me luck!

In ZAX,
Jono

Anyone bidding on this 1930s C&C?

[JonoBN41]

Yes. I got outbid, but I hope to be back.

I don't think I've ever seen our crest on a bracelet before:

[Trey_P-I_47]

I believe Brother Tom has a bracelet with the crest on it. If i remember correctly it was a solid cuff type bracelet with the crest right on top.

[Tom Earp]

Hm do not have it now??? Cannot remember if I won it or not???

If I did, I may have given to the Chapter for aucton we have yearly!
