SKI RUNNERS CANADIAN ROCKIES – BANFF ALBERTA CANADA PATCH circa 1930s – RARE

SKI RUNNERS – CANADIAN ROCKIES PATCH – ORIGINAL PATCH – EXCEEDINGLY RARE. The “SKI RUNNERS” was a very early club formed in Banff, Alberta, Canada in the 1930s. This rare patch dates to the early years of the club, during the 1930s. To the best of my knowledge this patch has never come to market over the last 15 years, if ever. The only examples of this patch can be found in the archives of the White Museum of the Canadian Rockies located in Banff. This circular patch has saw toothed edges. The artwork depicts a stylized image of a ski jumper, white clouds, white cap of a mountain and a snow covered tree. The patch is made of felt and appears to have never been attached to a jacket. It is in amazing near mint condition. Please see the listing photos and note the amazing detail in the patch. This patch measures approximately 4 3/4″ in diameter. Leia mais… »

SUNSHINE VILLAGE BANFF ALBERTA CANADA VERY EARLY 1930s RARE PATCH

SUNSHINE VILLAGE, BANFF, ALBERTA, CANADA – EXTREMELY EARLY FELT PATCH. An extremely rare find. Likely the earliest patch created for the Sunshine ski area in Banff National Park. Long before it took the name Sunshine Village. The patch has two evergreen trees in the snow, along with a large yellow sun with the rays spelling out the word “SUNSHINE”. The building seen at right is a depiction of the Canadian Pacific log cabin lodge that was built in 1928 and was subsequently leased out by Jim and Pat Brewster in 1934 when they began offering ski vacations. This patch rarely if ever comes to market, certainly not in this amazing condition, as it appears to have never been sewn into a jacket. Examples of this patch can be found in the archives of the Whyte Museum of the Canadian Rockies in Banff. NEAR MINT condition. Please see the listing photos and note the amazing detail in the patch. This patch measures approximately 3″ left to right across the center and approximately 3 3/4″ from top to bottom. Leia mais… »
