Author	Topic: U.S. Space Park patch (1964 World's Fair)
David Carey Member Posts: 782 From: Registered: Mar 2009	posted 11-20-2014 01:44 PM Posting for a friend looking for additional information on a 1964 World's Fair NASA "U.S. Space Park" patch. The exhibit was discussed earlier on this thread, among other websites. Curious if anyone knows whether these patches were souvenirs or NASA-only? Rarity and/or value? Thanks!

With more than 51 million visitors, it seems likely these would have been ordered in the thousands? But of course, how many survive? Of more interest to a NYWF collector for sure. First I've ever seen.

A person that runs a museum about the 64 NYWF was thrilled that someone found this patch and, as a reader of cS, could not believe this patch showed up in this forum. He stated he had only seen one of these patches in a museum and had been searching a long time for one. All four have new homes!
