Great 1950's USCG Cutter Cactus WLB-270 Buoy Tender Jacket Patch

Great 1950's United States Coast Guard USCG Cutter Cactus WLB-270 Buoy Tender jacket patch. The fully embroidered patch shows the image of a cowboy 'riding' the Cutter Cactus like a bucking bronco while lassoing a red buoy and beneath the water shows: "USCGC CACTUS WLB ??? 270" in yellow detailed letters. This example was removed from clothing.

Circa 1950's

Approximately 4-7/8" x 4-3/8"

Fully embroidered, silk/polyester/cotton threads, gauze backing

None.

This is from a US Coast Guard collection which we will be listing more of over the next few months. VBEX16 LAAEX8/16

8- (Very Fine - Excellent): The badge shows minor to moderate wear, was removed from clothing, light soiling, overall very fine condition.

As with all my artifacts, this piece is guaranteed to be original, as described.
