Swimming Pool Patches

Hi Team

 

Here are more Pool patches from the 1960's, which became more common in military Installations in the 60's

 

If anyone has more please add.

 

cheers

Here are the ones in my collection, which are from Fort Belvoir and Fort Leonard Wood.  The first patch was sold by a seller whose father was a member of the O Club in 1955.  The 1962 patch has the same diameter as the other patches so I'm 'guessing' it was issued for that year.  The 1967 and 1968 patches had the year and serial numbered stamped instead of embroidered.  The last Fort Belvoir was never stamped.

Interesting stuff, the Merrowed Edge dated 1958 is most unique, can we see a shot of its rear for reference?

Thanks for posting Larry

 

As patches pointed out the ME variant , the border is similar to Vietnam era flat ME style.

 

A nice rare variant.

 

cheers

I happened to look over the thread and saw your request, so better late then never.
