Scarce 1960s Post Office Special Delivery section patch—original:
$5.00

U.S. Post Office Department became the new U.S. Postal Service and changed its logotype. I located a uniform supplier who had to remove new patches from the shoulders of unsold shirts and jackets, so there may be a few stray threads, but rest assured, this is the genuine article -- original, obsolete and as fresh as the day it was made. Compared with postal clerks and letter carriers, very few postal employees worked in the Special Delivery sections of post offices that were large enough to have them. The curved rocker-type patch above the circular insignia was termed a \"craft tab\" because it designated the job of the employee.
