Patches, patches, patches

[Vintage Place]

Lots of patches.  Any significance?  Inherited and curious if they are historic?

Most are pretty common except those three printed on the left and the two with nicer work on the right. 

 

The majority are the ADSEC patch. AAF and 9th AAF patches, nice bullion 10th corps, ETO Headquarters patch.

Thank you.  Do you have any thoughts on overall value?

[scotty1418]

The 10 in the 'middle' are all common pieces at $1-4 ea. The left three and the two on right are better but I couldn't give an estimate. Sometimes bullion pieces like the 10th corps can do well. 

 

If you've got a relative who had them and the history involved, it's probably worth more than the $ value.

Thank you

Sorry, the majority of the the patches are HQ, European Theater of Operations US Army COMZ or COMZ for short. It was a large logistical command, and ADSEC was a smaller part of it. ADSEC, OISE, and a host of other tabs are frequently found with it.

 

Lastly, if you are referring to the blue shield w/sword and rainbow arcs, that is not ETO HQ. That is USAREUR, or US Army Europe.
