Within the postcard industry in the early twentieth century, there was a subset of generic postcards with space for a town name to be printed or stamped with a rubber stamp. We have two examples today, where the sender thought the cards appropriate. The generic cards were called pennant cards, named for the shape of the space where the town name was to be entered.
