Maker's information sewn into the reverse of the ribbon includes the words "B.B. TILT & SON. N.Y. & PATERSON N.J." at the top and an eagle image and the words "TRADE MARK" at the base of the ribbon. Item donor Susan H. Douglas's records indicate that this ribbon was once mounted as a sample on a sales card; the card read "B.B. TILT & SON / 477 BROOM ST. / N.Y. / TRADE MARK. / MANUFACTURED BY / THE PHOENIX MANUFACT'RING CO. / PATERSON, N.J." Item 2214.BB0275 is a larger B.B.
