A vintage Belknap ski patch, estimated to date from the 1950s: the same shield as its brighter twin, with BELKNAP crossing SKI, three skiers and one enormous white hare. This one has lived. The sky has faded to the blue of old denim and the border has opened up at the lower right.

The name Gunstock was on the mountain long before it was on the patches. The area's first lift, the Gunstock Ski Hoist, was a long rope tow put in for 1934–35, one of the first in New England. Belknap was the name of the park around it until 1962.

Somebody wore this until it frayed. That's not damage. That's a review.

Embroidered on twill, merrowed edge, fraying at lower right. Photos are the condition report.
