Gunstock! Gilford, Rifle Arch — c. 1960s

A vintage Gunstock ski patch from Gilford, New Hampshire, estimated to date from the 1960s, with a long rifle laid diagonally across the entire face of it. GUNSTOCK! in red outlined letters, GILFORD, H. beneath in blue, gray-green hills over a tan field. A half-round patch with a blue border.

The exclamation point is the most 1960s thing on the patch. Gunstock didn't just want you to know the name. It wanted you to say it out loud.

Earlier patches from the same hill say Laconia. This one says Gilford, which is where the mountain actually is. And the rifle runs edge to edge, longer than the hills behind it.

Embroidered on twill, merrowed edge. Photos are the condition report.
