From the Department of Redundancy department we had this Space Astronaut patch back in the early 1960s. It was put out as part of a children's spacey clothing line and likely sold at the Visitor's Center at The Cape? This "unofficial" patch was produced by a company called Alligator Alley out of Miami.

That would look fantastic on an ISS crewmember's flightsuit. Gotta have a sense of humour.

After further research it appears as though this patch is from the mid 1960s.
