Recommended Posts

This style center ring with banner appears to have been on the market with reasonable confidence 1915-16. 

 

1915 electrical trade.

And they had tab feet. So what did 1914 cone base models sport for a center ring and .........Banner?

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.

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.

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.
