Apparently, this particular CN Tower patch is now quite scarce, perhaps because the tower has not, in fact, been the world's tallest structure for some years now, hence newer patches do not have that slogan. As New; see scan. What looks like perimeter spots of soil are not; those are artifacts of differential reflectivity in scanning. Stored in zip-lock since acquisition in Toronto in (about) 1978. The blue, white, and black threads are still as engagingly luminous as when new. See scan. Collectible. Don't put this on clothes you wear a lot - it's just too nice. Travel & Canadiana Ephemera.

Wildwood NJ Convention Hall Embroidered Souvenir Patch, 2 3/4" x 2 1/16" Escutcheon Shape, Circa 1973. See scan. An apparently very scarce souvenir patch.

Oval, 3 /1/2" major axis x 3" minor axis. Manufacture and art uncredited, circa 1977. Near Fine; obverse is, in fact, As New, and quite completely flawless; reverse is nearly likewise, but shows some paper residue (see scans). Stored in zip-lock since acquisition in (about) 1977, in DC. Apparently, a scarce variant; we've found no exactly-matching Apollo XIV mission patch among those somewhat numerous variants. In particular, the gold threads are not just gold threads; they are gold and glitter-gilt threads. This shows best in the second image, which was taken in moderate lighting with a digital camera at 3' distance. The other two images are scans. All threads - gold, glitter-gilt, russet, red, white, black and two shades of blue - are still as engagingly luminous as when new. See scan. Collectible. Don't… Read More

New York: Hotel Victoria, 1995. No Binding. As New. As New. See scans. New York: Hotel Victoria, undated but probably a recreation circa late 1990s. See text. 7 1/16" x 3 1/16" laminated Sunday Breakfast Voucher from New York City's famed Hotel Victoria. Flawless condition. Since the Hotel Victoria - built by Paran Stevens in 1877, as the only hotel in NYC to ever have entrances on both Broadway and Fifth Avenue - was razed to the ground in 1914, this is a likely recreation, based on the fact that it is laminated and incorporates one typeface we do not consider likely to have been in use prior to 1914. Regardless, vintage from at least the 1990s, and likely, if it is a recreation, an essentially accurate one. See scan. In sealed storage, on premises. Ships in stout protection, of course. Lsmph4
