Here's the idea! A good many of us collect other things besides shells. I have a good many club pins which I display in Riker Mounts. I also have similar pins representing Railroad Heralds. (When I was a kid, I had the best collection of olive pits on the block). I think it might be welcome for a dealer to begin issuing a Shell-Of-The- Month pin. A dealer--- because dealers have pretty good mailing lists; and also because they can use the list of subscribers to SOTM to further their own business. I think the SOTM can be done much like the club pins. Only have the identity of the pin run around the edge. Beautiful shells only. Maybe gloria-maris first. Maybe try to do the hundred best looking shells chosen from a list of collector nominees---maybe a poll or contest. True, I don't know much about having the pins made. But all the clubs seem to have them, and they sell them for about $5.00--- including tax. Perhaps one could start by issuing three at a time. How many subscribers would be needed to interest dealer A or dealer B? Would 100 do it? Including me---only 99 more are needed. Art
