Vintage mixed lot of U.S. military and travel patches, mostly Air Force/aviation related, from what appears to be the Cold War–Vietnam era into the later 20th century. Nice starter lot for a collector, shadow box, or jacket project, with several Strategic Air Command pieces and fun “Chicken of the Sea” novelty patch.
• Three matching USAF Strategic Air Command shield patches, full‑color, with mailed fist, lightning bolts, clouds and “Strategic Air Command” scroll at the bottom. These are classic SAC major command insignia used from the 1950s onward.
• One similar SAC‑style patch on dark blue background with an atomic symbol and lightning bolt, likely a later SAC or related unit/command variation.
• Two matching blue-and-gold state/wing style patches showing a bear and the outline of California with stylized wings, likely from a California‑based Air Force unit or wing. Comparable unit and base souvenir patches typically sell in the low‑teens each when identified.
• One olive drab U.S. enlisted rank chevron with multiple stripes and star (heavily worn), plus a separate chevron and diamond leadership/rank insignia and a small green rank tab with two rectangular bars—these appear to be older U.S. enlisted and officer rank/leadership insignia.
• One “WORLD WIDE” rocker tab and one blue name tape with “MOIR,” likely from a uniform blouse or flight suit.
• One embroidered U.S. flag patch with gold border, plus separate GUAM red/white diagonal flag patch and HAWAII state flag patch, typical of souvenir or deployment patches.
• One oval “93RD BW ALS” patch referencing the 93rd Bomb Wing and Airman Leadership School; modern embroidered 93rd BW and related patches in nice condition often list around 10–20 dollars individually.
• One round turquoise “CHICKEN OF THE SEA” novelty or unit‑mascot patch with a cartoon chicken riding a torpedo/fish; similar fun naval/aviation “Chicken of the Sea” or “atomic chicken” patches are often sold as specialty or squadron patches.
