Up for bid is a fantastic vintage letterpress block featuring the reverse image of the Alpha Tau Omega fraternity
pledge pin. I recently
found a huge lot of blocks from most of the fraternity & sorority
organizations, featuring member and pledge pins (oddly enough, hardly
any crests). Some of the pledge pins are older versions (Delt &
Alpha Sig) which date to the 1930's, so that's about where I think these
are from. Unsure of the college, believe they may have been collected
from several collections. I've been selling vintage Greek stuff on ebay
for nearly 20 years and this is only the second time I've ran across
blocks with pledge pin images. This block consists of a thin piece of
metal nailed to a block of wood. In great shape with a very dark
image. It is rather dirty from use though and could use a good
cleaning. Face of the block measures 9/16" tall. A
very nice addition to your ATO or vintage fraternity / sorority
collection! Please email with any questions and thanks for looking!!!
