Hi,

Is it period or fantasy?

Thanks a lot.

A US-made or US-marketed fantasy I've seen circulating for three decades, maybe four.

This one someone took the time to age and sun fade. Pretty funny. I remember these in catalogs during the 1970s. There were flags and baseball caps made with the same design on it.

May I add that since these patches are +30 years old they may have an aged look, ie a sort of patina. I owned one with a light padding on the reverse.
Cordialement!
