** EARLY Absolutely RARE Vintage Explorer & Air Explorer and Ohio Patches - These type that are felt or flocked felt or paper simply Do Not Last - To find them in this condition is UNBELIEVABLE!!**
This one is thick paper, almost card stock. It looks like it may be copied or that is just the way they made them for this event. We have no idea why it is made like this. Perhaps the original design or the prototype? In any case, if you think felt badges are hard to keep - try paper - they last even less! There just can not be that many of these left! Has to be one of the Ohio Councils
least available
patches today!
These are ALL MUSEUM DISPLAY WORTHY in this condition and for this rarity!!! You are unlikely to see these again!

***NOTE -
photo
should be final determination on condition. What one person considers GOOD another considers VERY GOOD. Some may be said to be VG (Very Good) not because they were ever used, but because they may have been in a collection or drawer and not be perfectly flat. Usually we put Good (if slightly blemished, or taped into a book, or once used, etc.) or Very Good (pretty nice - perhaps never used, or slightly used, but still look nice) or EX, EXCELLENT (Very Nice shape, appears never used) or MINT - (Mint is Mint - almost perfect or better). We are not expert of military, scouting or Red Cross items so what you may be looking for is not what we see. Please keep that in mind. We will try our hardest to help.
