Patch & Craftsmanship

Circular design with a yellow/gold border, navy blue background — a white friendly ghost illustration with a smile and waving gesture, "FRIENDLIEST GHOST TOWN" and "HYDER, ALASKA" embroidered text. Genuine vintage patch (40-50+ years old) — may show honest age characteristics like minor thread fraying or color variation, which confirm authenticity rather than being defects.
