sew-on patch
just under 3" tall X almost 2 3/4" at widest
features Mercury capule with Grissom in gold letters, Mercury 4 is in mercurochrome pink! with gray background and gray edging
this patch appears to have been sewn onto something at some point. It's a little wrinkly, light soil. See condition and study the photos.
Palomar Mtn.
sew-on patch

features observatory on dark blue background with white lettering and olive green edging

I plan to ship these patches via USPS First Class in a business envelope. There is no tracking information with this economical shipping option. This is the only shipping option that will be free.
Please ask questions before purchasing. I'm happy to try to answer or take more pictures. And I'm happy if you can make use of one of these things that I no longer need.
Returns are accepted, but I would rather get it right the first time. 201404-01-1817-NKY
