This is a
rare and fun roller skating rink patch
from the 1940's or 50's. This
listing is for:
Krystal Bell
Roller Rink: Marshalltown, Iowa. A winged roller skate is part of
the patch's design. Yellow print with
a white background. The front feels
like felt/velour. The back is made of canvas. The entire patch is
semi-stiff. Measures 6" x 5.25."
Several
years ago, here in Albuquerque at a
local auction house, I bought a metal
box for storing roller skates. Inside
this box were all the stickers and
patches that I am currently selling.
At the bottom, I discovered a bunch of
envelopes that were mailed in the
1950's. From these, I was able to
glean that these collections of
patches and stickers belonged to
Kenneth Scott of Marshalltown, Iowa.
Judging by the multiple Krystal Bell
Roller Rink items both in the box and affixed to it, Mr. Scott was
associated with this particular roller
skating rink.
Condition:
This used item is in good
condition. The front is lightly
soiled. The back has light soiling.
The bottom right area has a crease.
The bottom corners are
clearly bumped. The entire patch does
not lie flat. The photos are in the photo gallery, where you can view them at high magnification.
All
items come from my personal
collections.
This
is a non-smoking home.
Photos
are of the actual item.
