Something not seen to often

I've seen a fair number of these,all with the names of different bases.If someone wanted to,they could build a collection of these.Unusual and offbeat.

That's a nice one.The ones I have seen are usual round. I do have triangle one from White Sands, its buried somewhere, dated from the 1960's.Yours looks like a decent size patch.

I've seen more round ones than any other shape.IIRC these were worn on the swimming trunks.

I have a round one from U.S.M.C.A.S. Santa Barbara (from WWII) and in the middle it reads LIFEGUARD. It's red with white stitched lettering.

I think these are pretty cool and they tend to go for $3-7 on ebay. As stated above, this could be a super cool collecting scope as there are few patches for certain posts, bases, forts, etc....

 

I saw one that was from Ft. Sill dated 1944 that I wish I had picked up a month ago on ebay (I am purely a WW2 focus). These tend to be 1950s-1970s.

 

And most are round. Great insignia.

there are tons of these out there from Army and Air Force bases here are a few. As stated most are round and on twill but there are a few others out there.

Just saw a sold one on ebay like the one posted.Sold for $1.54 for the price would been a fun addition to a collection

Thanks for that. I was wondering what they were used for. It'd be kind of strange on a dress uniform.

Not sure what base.

Could be Sampson, Sheppard, Schriever, Scott, Shaw, or ?.
