Nos 1950s Western Auto Parts Associate Store Uniform Sew-on Patch - on 2040-parts.com
Los Angeles, California, US
This sew on patch is not a reproduction. Came from the Bosch Embroidery Company that closed about 40 years ago. They were in Kansas City, MO and supplied oil companies, auto parts dealers and car dealerships with uniform \
sew-on patches starting in the early 50s. This is a highly detailed embroidered 3 1/2'' patch. Not many Western Auto stores around... I saw one in Orlando, FL in the mid 90s. Very nostalgic; they had a little red wagon and tricycle in their store window. See my other listings for more vintage auto accessories. Free shipping on all regular sized patches.
