Philomathean Badge
It is the badge of the 4th Philomathean President.
Our national officers are working with the seller in an attempt to return it to our archives...

Wow! That is stunning!
It most certainly belongs in your Archives so that hundreds of members can see and enjoy it.

I saw it this morning, I didn't want to post the link to "help raise" the price on it...but I did PM a Phi Mu about it.
I hope your HQ will be able to get it!

Just curious -- Does Phi Mu have an archives area at their Headquarters as well as the Canonball House in Macon?

National Museum
Phi Mu has a beautiful new office located in Peachtree City, Georgia.
It includes a wonderful display of all the Philomathean items that we cherish.

HEHE, you guys are ahead of me. I've been combing ebay to try to recover some of the origonal Otterbein badges, and I came across this historic badge (hence my stop over here). But you guys beat me to it! Hope this can be resolved, it is a rather beautiful badge and probably very important.

That's a beautiful badge - I see the HQ archive is the current high bidder, I hope they win!

I questioned the decision for them to bid 24 hrs. before the auction ends, but since the bidder ID is "archivephimu" at least it might reduce the number of members bidding. I'm sure the collectors will try to snipe at the last second.

I'm hoping the archive would have a high enough bid in that no one could get in at the last min, but I'm also rooting for PhiMu!
