Now, the 1914-16-17 with flat GE lettering could be done upon request.1914 would be the same as previous years. 1915 brought the change to flattened (sanded?) top surface of the badge, painted background, larger dots, and a change in the GE logo as well as those four raised curly details around the outer part of the badge; they got longer tails. Spacing of the logo loops and letters is all different from previous years. But most people probably would not notice those later changes on a fan unless they were to compare side to side. The majority of people needing a badge would probably want one for the earlier fans anyway.
The later badges for steel blades 2 Star Oscillators and Bell Oscillators are with larger details (bumps and GE letters) but the size (diameter) is the same so it could also be used as a lack of other option.
It was a bit time consuming to take the photos. My fans are all where I can easily get to them but still require a stool to grab them from their shelves. The time is worth it because I learn by researching.
Kim, I'd appreciate any comments or corrections you can offer on what I said about the badges. I know you have been through about 10 or more times the number of GE fans that I have.
