Black / Wildcat / Cranmore, Oval — c. 1980s

A vintage Big E tri-ticket patch — Black, Wildcat and Cranmore — estimated to date from the 1980s, featuring a zigzag of magenta, blue and green peaks holding three small windows: a chair, a gondola car, a Skimobile. An oval in sky blue with a gold border, the three names running around the rim.

The three-mountain pass lasted long enough to get a second patch, which tells you it sold. A family could buy one ticket and spend a week arguing about which mountain to ski.

The lifts are drawn in black thread, about as detailed as a road sign. Green fuzz from some other garment is caught in the left edge. It has spent time in a drawer with company.

Woven, merrowed edge. Photos are the condition report.
