...And thanks for your original post. I learned a few things.
The biggest take-away for me is (at this point!); 1900 Ramblers can have any one of three badge versions. First, the original early GJ badge with no reference to ABC/Pope. Second, the original version badge with the smaller single screw banner proclaiming "successors to..." added above it. Third, the main badge modified to include "Successors to..."
Second, the early 1900 Ramblers had the older two piece, 7 style seat post, as yours shows. My 32 also came with that style. My 1900 mod. 34, which has the third version badge has the new "direct tilting" seat post as featured in the Paris Expo catalog photo earlier in this post. Photo comparison posted here as well.
Third, all serial numbers were moved to the rear left drop-out from the left side of the seat post binder (opposite where the model number was stamped). I'm unsure how the older serial numbers were put on the frames but they look very well done and classy. The 1900's are rather crudely hand stamped. 1898 example posted here as well.
A side note, the advertisement posted earlier here may well be from an 1899 publication, but it was probably in advance for the 1900 line of Ramblers, much like we see TV commercials for the next years car models. The prices were the same for the two years, $40, so that's no help to support the claim, but there is plenty of GJ and ABC produced literature out there (and in my possession) to support the change and introduction of the rococo lugs in 1900.
Other food for thought; The Paris Expo lit featured in this post shows the third version of the head badge in the art work to the left of the model 32 pictured. While its not completely visible, I have that catalog to confirm this. Since the expo started in the first quarter of the year, mid April 1900 its a reasonable assumption that the two badge version and the single original GJ badged versions are quite rare having been released probably from late 1899 to early 1900. I have three 1900 frames, two 32's are the second, two badge version and the 34 is the last version, the modified main badge. Unfortunately none of these frames have the manufacture date tags so one can't be sure exactly when they were built.
For what its worth, IMO, you probably have the rarest badged version of the 1900 mod 32; the original GJ badge with no mention or evidence of the ABC to come later. Now, that's pretty cool. Having said that, if you intend to re-badge this with an intact badge, and you find ANY version of the 32 badge, I'd snap it up. I've been looking for a while to replace my only 32 that is broken in two with no luck. Another thing I've learned from this is, since there are apparently three versions, to score the correct badge would be extremely fortunate, and I should be thankful for the one I have despite the damage. I have a plan to mend it, but an intact badge remains on the radar.
