Well, most of our founders' badges were different from the ones we wear today as they have evolved over the decades...centuries, in some cases. I just think if you are an AAA you should wear the official badge as it was at your initiation...whatever that might be. If the official badge changes over the years, then buy a new one. Or, if oyu like the vintage ones better, buy one on eBay or wherever. But a badge should not be tampered with if it wasn't allowed at the time it was made. Very nice that your gradmother could afford to have a badge made. It's not cheap to do that...and perhaps it was the norm at the time.
