So I didn't measure hot-hot.. Didn't think that was a wise idea at the time.. So after you mentioned it I decided I'd go measure it and found it's reading only 208V?!?!?! I double checked the Hot to Neutral and it's 120V. Show does 120V + 120V = 208V?

It should look like this:

W = neutral
X = one 115V leg
Y = one 115V leg
There is no ground on this outlet which is why it is obsolete.
X -> Y should be ~230V (220V-240V)
X -> W should be ~115V (110V-120V)
Y -> W should be ~115V (110V-120V)

What I get when I measured the points you referenced -
X -> Y = Ranges between 208V and 210V
X -> W = 120V Solid
Y -> W = 120V Solid
Is it possible that it's wired incorrectly or am I just doing something incredibly stupid?
