Had to hijack for a minute...I have a badge that is soldered to a locket and in looking at the tiny size of the badge at Convention, the national archivist informed me that it is over 100 years old! The badge size was standardized in 1906.
Also, if you see a badge with a wider bottom, that is called a "Fetting" badge because the manufacturer, Fetting, made them incorrectly. If you see a badge with 2 lines across the crown, that badge is generally from the 20's or 30's. My little sis is bidding on one right now on Ebay...
