South Africa, Adventure Souvenir Patch

Sampson´s extend the patch collection to South Africa

From end 60´s Sampson´s imported the souvenir patches collection to South Africa under two companies: Wesleys of durban and Smokes and gifts souvenirs.

In both cases, it was offered the same patch collection than in UK.

These souvenir patches with original package are really difficult to get them

Most usual patch is South Africa coat of arms, distributed directly by Sampson´s.

The patches are manufactured with impacted colors that highlight it.

Here you are some patches of 2 most important Johannesburg´s towers: 

Hillbrow Tower (1968 - 1971)

Albert Hertzog Tower (1961-1962)

The package characteristics are same than British ones, I provide you one example of Woven badges list available of 1973, you can observe in the middle, sampson´s woven badge album offer.

If you have additional info or you want to tell us something else, welcome to comment this post
