Vintage "American" Gas station patch

I have a bag full of brand new "American" patches for the employee shirts.

$10 each to your door.
-------------------------
background- My grandfather used to manage a gas station back in the 60's and 70's. It was an independant station, and they would change the sponsor occasionally. AMACO, HUSKY, ECONOMY, and At one point it was branded "American" Gasoline.

He retired & closed up the station 20 years ago, and passed away about 10 years ago. I inherited the majority of his tools & misc stuff from the station years...Still going through stuff.
Anyway, I came across this tonight and forgot that I had saved them way back when we cleaned out the station in '93. Too bad I didn't save the giant tin Husky sign that was still out back. DOH!

Anyway, Perfect for a gearhead jacket. I'm gonna sew one on mine.

I'm guessing since I know his station was both, that American became AMOCO or vice versa...

It was always STANDARD when I was a kid. Then AMOCO later on.
