You're receiving a PM from me, but I bet the big squirrels and IHQ know what I figured out 
Hopefully I'll be able to share with the rest of you what I know.

Sorry, even though I enabled PMs they were enabled for "but a chosen few" meaning people I let into my circle.
So AGDAlum, was any of that useful information?

Yes, thanks, VS.
From the AGD Facebook page:
"According to our database, Cynthia Geer was initiated into Alpha-Syracuse University in 1958 and is still living. However, after doing a bit more digging, I would bet this belonged to Charlotte Geer Wilcox, who was initiated into Gamma-Wesleyan University in 1906. Her member number listed in the database is 003-20. It is possible that her member number was actually 003-19, and it was listed on her Badge as the 19th initiate of the third chapter to be installed (Gamma). That might explain the 1903 on the back of the Badge. In addition, Charlotte lived in Massachusetts, only about 30 miles from where the eBay listing says this Badge would be shipping from."
