Trying to research if a 1957 MFG Erie should have any logos/emblems on it anywhere. Haven't seen any pics and not finding anything on ebay or anywhere. I've seen some 1960s' MFG with "MFG" on the right rear side/stern area.

Did they ever have any specific flags or pennants displayed on the bow?...

Thanks all-

Here is a link to an old eBay listing. They were placed on each side of the hull near the stern, A photo is attached with my Niagara docked next to a 1958 MFG with the factory decal. The seller can probably make up new ones if contacted:

As for flags, pennants (burgees), there used to be an outfit that made them, but they disappeared a while back. Other burgee makers could do it if supplied art work. They did not come from the factory - only added by owners later. The blue one I have is also shown in the picture on a chrome staff that came with my boat when I bought it. I got the attached (only in blue) from that maker now out of business.
