Hey, pennant guys

[Domer05]

Does the back of the photo say anything about the manufacturer and/or concessionaire, e.g., "Made by Trench, Buffalo, NY for Sportservice"?

Trench seems to have made two types of photos for their photo pennants. Some placed 100% of the text on the reverse side, where they named everyone in the photo, the manufacturer, and if applicable: the concessionaire. I've seen others, however, that look like Trench's work; but the team personnel info is buried in the footer across the bottom of the photo's front side. In this variation, they omitted all manufacturing and/or concessionaire info and the reverse of the photo was left blank.

This '68 Detroit Tigers pennant (below) exemplifies this latter style. I can't say with 100% certainty this one came from Trench, but it sure looks like their earlier work....

So, your '62 photo pennant may fall into this other variety Trench made--a style that grew more common by the late 1960s and 70s because the viewer could read the caption without having to flip the pennant over--which would be difficult, if it were already tacked to a wall.
