I dug this little badge,tag yesterday in a bottle dump, took me awhile to figure this one out, this company made early hearing aids.
The American Earphone Company's Super-ear device was patented in 1925 and reached the market in 1926. A later model of the company's Audi-ear, the device consisted of a celluloid cup-like piece that fit into the ear with an ear tip, held to the ear by a wire. Another model was introduced in 1929.

That's neat .. I was looking at that on Ebay earlier this morning.
 

Ive been finding alot of tags and badges in this dump Ive been digging lately. Ebay is the easiest way to sell these little trinkets. I'm not much of a collector, just a treasure hunter lol, I love the hunt!
