USN Swamp Rat - Ed "Big Daddy" Roth Novelty Patch

[River Patrol]

This may be my new favorite patch....I've never really appreciated novelty patches that much until now! ...and Swamp Rats being somewhat synonymous with Brown Water Navy, Vietnam makes it even better.....

Nice pick up

Very nice and appears to be Japanese made. I remember well the crazy car models from the 60's with the Big Daddly Roth theme. "Rat Fink"

[Garandomatic]

He made some wicked military themed decals in the 60s too. I may still have one that said something like "VC for Lunch" on a sack of bodyparts being held by a 101st airborne trooper coming down in a chute. Almost put it on my 65 impala.

[Wharfmaster]

I purchased one of his artwork sweatshirts when I was a kid in the 60s. Wish I had it now.
