More information on the Covenant Club:
In 1916, Mr. A.B.Seelenfreund, secretary of the B'nai B'rith, called a general meeting of the members of the B'nai B'rith Lodges of Chicago, for the purpose of organizing a downtown club. The first meeting was held in a lodge hall in the Capitol Building. Each member present was asked to pay .00 as the initiation fee, and .00 dues per year. At that time there were not more than 60 members. At the present time the initiation fee for resident members is 5 and a By-Law is about to be adopted increasing it to 0.
The first club rooms of the Covenant Club were the two top floors of a building known as No. 10-14 North Dearborn Street. The original committee in charge of the organization of the club included Alfred Decker, Dr. Julius H. Meyer, Judge Philip Stein, 2Adolph Kraus, Jacob Schnadig, Gustav Freund, Benjamin Samuels, A.S.Roe, Milton Hart, Theodore Geissmann and Henry Blum. It was agreed that only members of the I.O.B.B. were eligible for membership. In 1920, the by-laws were changed so that the club has no longer any connection with the B'nai B'rith and it is not necessary to be a member of the Order to become a member of the club. The first officers of the club were;- Morton A. Mergentheim, President; Henry Blum, 1st Vice-President; Theodore Geissmann, 2nd Vice-President; Mark D. Goodman, Secretary; and Maurice Taussig, Treasurer. The club has 600 members at the present time. ~ Information from newberry.org

FAQs:
Are you your certificates authentic or copies?
Everything
I sell is original and authentic. I do not sell copies or reproductions.
Is the certificate pictured the exact one I will receive?
Usually, yes. Occasionally, I do list certificates of the same type without rescanning. In this case, the certificate you receive will be virtually identical (same color, size, vignette, etc.) to the one pictured. Again, if you ever receive anything from me you are not 100% pleased with, you can return it for a full refund.
What is the best way to store, protect, and display my certificate collection?
The best thing, by far, that I have come across for storing certificates are
profolios and sleeves made by Itoya
. You can purchase them in my eBay store. I have several sizes available.
Do the certificates you sell have financial value?
No, these certificates are sold as collectibles only; although they are authentic, they no longer hold financial value.
