Coca-Cola Expert cloth patch probably from around the late 1950s. The mess of white stitching below the Coca-Cola logo is not legible and is not a mistake because it appears on similar patches. The red background around Coca-Cola is entirely embroidered; very unusual for these types of patches.
This patch is one of three Coca-Cola patches that were being awarded at the time. Under Other Views, select "Coca-Cola trio" to see additional picture.
Besides the Expert - Coca-Cola shield patch in this exhibit, Duncan also made the following Expert patches in a shield shape:
• Expert - 1958 • Expert - 1959
(There also exists a reduced size version of this same patch. Its size is 83 mm top to bottom.)
