Description

Izaak Walton League of America Pin
This group was founded in 1922 by a group who were concerned about the deteriorating conditions of America's fishing streams.
Uncontrolled industrial discharges, raw sewage, and soil erosion threatened to destroy many of the nation’s most productive waterways. At the same time, the country’s forests, wetlands, and wilderness areas were quickly disappearing.
The group decided to form an organization to combat water pollution, and they named it after Izaak Walton, a 17th-century English conservationist who wrote the literary classic The Compleat Angler. Initially formed as a "federation of angling clubs," the Izaak Walton League of America soon broadened its goals in defense of outdoor America.
Today, the Izaak Walton League’s more than 40,000 members and 200+ local chapters continue to build on the accomplishments of those who preceded them as defenders of the nation’s soil, air, woods, waters, and wildlife.

**Customers Buying Multiple items**
If you purchase more then 1 item please
DO NOT
pay for each separately - Please put all the items you want to buy in the cart, then use the "
ask the seller for a total
" option, so we can send you a new invoice with the postage set correctly for multiple items, it may save you $$ in shipping costs - I am told that option is hard to find on the phone app - no worries, we do refund shipping overages.
SHIPPING NOTES:
We offer 1 day handling
, meaning we mail items within 24 hours of purchase (except on weekends and non mailing holidays of course) , but seeing how we are in North Pole Alaska, items may take 3-5 days longer to arrive at the destination than what eBay's notice quotes. They no longer process mail in Alaska, so an item I mail here takes 1 day to get from North Pole to Anchorage, then usually 1 day to be flown to a processing center, then 1 day to get sorted. So there's a lag time of about 3 days in there that eBay does not take into consideration for Sellers that are in Alaska. So please keep that in mind when buying from us to add those extra travel days to the expected arrival time that eBay sends you. Thank You!
**Sales Tax**
eBay does collect sales tax for towns & states that have a sales tax - we personally do not see any of that money, it is handled by eBay.
**International Buyers**
–
We ship internationally using eBay's Global Shipping Program
**special note on arrival times
International mail
has taken anywhere from 7 days to a month to arrive, (item can be held up in customs or at anywhere along the line) this is just how the postal system works, we mail things out the same day / next day after the item is paid for and hopefully that helps in getting the item to you as fast as the postal system can get it there.
