Russ Huber Posted June 3, 2023 Posted June 3, 2023 (edited) This style center ring with banner appears to have been on the market with reasonable confidence 1915-16. 1915 electrical trade. 1916 style base tag seen on the early 1916 introduction clamshells on this one.

Steve Cunningham Posted June 4, 2023 Posted June 4, 2023 Earliest had the ring, no banner, with Menominee stamped into it. Quote
Russ Huber Posted June 4, 2023 Author Posted June 4, 2023 1 hour ago, Steve Cunningham said: Earliest had the ring, no banner, with Menominee stamped into it. And they had tab feet. So what did 1914 cone base models sport for a center ring and .........Banner? Quote
Steve Cunningham Posted June 4, 2023 Posted June 4, 2023 First no banner, or Menominee stamped. Second was stamped ring, no banner. Then came the banner across the ring. Menominee was very cheap when it came to paying for ads. Few early ads were ever found. Quote
Jim Henderson Posted June 4, 2023 Posted June 4, 2023 The early vertical lever model had no info. stamped in the center ring. The company name and electrical info. was stamped in two of the struts. Quote
Russ Huber Posted June 4, 2023 Author Posted June 4, 2023 (edited) This particular center ring with banner always had my curiosity up as to its timeline. Electrical trade supports it was on the market 15. There is some evidence to support it for 16. I am not sure about 14. Edited June 4, 2023 by Russ Huber Quote
