    Description

    This patch is more than 100 years old and is a US Army patch from the WW1 era.  This is known as a “Liberty Loan” patch.  They are called Liberty Loan patches because they were made available as part of a final war loan promotion and made available for sale at stateside PX’s and overseas embarkation points at the end of WW1.  Entirely machine made, using a technique that was developed in the early 1900’s.  First a strip of base material is fed into a loom, then colored thread is worked into it, completing the design.  Usually constructed of thin cotton or artificial silk.  You are buying the patch pictured.  No international shipping.
