The listing, ~ IMPKO Florida Souvenir Collector's Patch ~ Vintage! has ended.
This auction is for one vintage Florida souvenir patch, made by IMPKO -- a collector's item!
Made in USA, auctioned as is...there is a torn corner piece from the IMPKO paper where it says Made in USA and ragged edge on other bottom corner.
Size: Approx. 3 inches diameter
Type: Sew-on patch
Condition: Vintage!
It is inside a sealed package, but I have no idea if it is the original package.
I was unable to find any information about this particular patch, only bits and pieces about IMPKO, which apparently was a short-lived company.
Photos show front and back of patch, which reminds me of a thin coaster. It is not embroidered.
I'm guessing, from the look and style of it, that the patch is from between the 50s to early 70s.
Purely a guess based on other items I found while searching for info on this one.
Info found online:
Not much is factually know about IMPKO. The company started as a souvenir picture postcard company just before the turn of the 20th century.
Located in New Jersey, the makers of decals and novelty items are no longer in operation.
