Seriously. I have no idea what clasps were used, but assume they were modern ones. I have not seen any of those President's badges; my own chapter was founded in 1950, but I do not recall a specific President's badge.

It would be interesting to track down those chapters and see if those badges were still in the chapters' possessions. (grammar nerd runs off to check use of apostrophes and plurals, feel free to step in and correct me, GC grammar police!)
My chapter was founded in 1955 and while I remember that the president's badge was different from the rest, I can't recall what exactly was different about it. I'll email the current president and see if she will be gracious enough to take a picture. (provided, of course, that it is still the same badge...)
