ARTIFACT: This is a circa WWI - early 1920s worker badge for the Curtiss Aeroplane & Motor Company, founded by early aviator Glenn Curtiss. Curtiss Aeroplane and Curtiss Motor Company had both been independent companies in the 1910s, and they merged in 1916. This entity later became part of the Curtiss-Wright Corporation in 1929. Curtiss manufactured seaplanes and other craft, working with the United States Navy in the early days of military aviation and also with allies Canada and Britain. The badge is oval and numbered 24926 on its front, and was made by Bastian Brothers of Rochester, New York.
