67Rally Posted November 23, 2012 #4 Posted November 23, 2012 Nice patches...wish I could provide you insight. It appears that the 2 Ethan Allens, Henry Clay and the last two patches are 60s-70s vintage when compared to some of my older USN patches.

topdcnut Posted November 25, 2012 #6 Posted November 25, 2012 These tend to be hard to date unless they have provenance, you cannot simply date based on merrowed or cut edge all of these except the right e allen look 60's or 70's. I personally have purchased cut edged ships patches into the 80's and have merrowed edge patches that I know were purchased in the 60's. All of yours look good and would not hesitate to put any one of them in a period collection. John
