Great photo.
Manufacturer Luscombe Aircraft (until 1949) TEMCO Aircraft (from ~1949 to ~1955
The main difference is that TEMCO was a manufacturer that produced Luscombe Silvaire aircraft for a period, while Luscombe was the original designer and manufacturer. After the original Luscombe company went bankrupt in 1949, TEMCO acquired the assets and continued production of the Silvaire 8F model. When TEMCO stopped, the assets were purchased by Silvaire Aircraft Corp, which also produced aircraft with the Silvaire 8F designation, often listed as "Luscombe" in quotation marks

Great photo. Luscombes (and Monocoupes) are fun airplanes to fly! Don Luscombe was a true pioneer in modern sport aircraft design.
