Anyone?
According to the seller, this is from the 1890-1900s. At that time, there were no specific Fraternity badge standards in place (other than it must be 1" long and have the KKG and AWO) so members usually had family or local jewelers make their golden keys to their personal desires. The old badges are so unique and just beautiful!
