My husband has his great-great-grandfather's fraternity badge from the Peucinian Society at Bowdoin College. The society was instituted Nov. 22, 1805 and G-G-GF was initiated in 1839.
The badge is cut from a piece of silver, about 1"square. I believe it originally hung from a ribbon that would have been pinned to a lapel or hung around the neck.
I have it on a silver chain and wear it as a necklace.
