My pin is also from the net (ebay to be specific). I think it may have come from a relative, so I need to get her application. I understand you are really not supposed to recycle pins except for family members. No one had ever explained the story of the insignia to me, so I wanted to thank you for your entry. There is so much to learn about NSDAR. My great-aunt, who died many years before I was born, was briefly a member, and she gave my grandmother--who died the year my parents married--an outline to encourage her to join. Of course, I think the information came from the chapter regent at the time and other members who were from our family. I used the information as a touchstone for my own research.

I hadn't realized until I read your post that there was anything engraved on the back of the pin. I will have to look and see if the number identifies my great aunt or her mother, my great grandmother. Thanks for the info! Kathy Hi,

I have a pin that is exactly like this. It was my great grandmother's. Could you please email me at holisticann@gmail.com so I can ask some additional questions about it? Thanks, Ann Hi!
