BABE RUTH UNIFROM PATCH ca:1934
 

Collectors, i need help to identify this Babe Ruth patch. I acquired it from the grandchildren who grandfather won a Babe Ruth contest in 1934 to spend a week with Babe Ruth in FLORIDA at his training camp. 50 children throughout the us were chosen. I sold the contest newspaper, western union telegram, photos and postcard relating to this contest last month to a dealer who specializes in BABE RUTH collectables. I left this one out.

I received offers of $500 & $1,000. An auction house offered me $1,000 and told me that he knows where this came from. He remembers a photo of ruth with this patch on a jacket he was wearing. I looked and looked but can't find the photo. The auction house wouldn't give me more details. I listed it on EBAY for $1,000 and received another offer of $600. I'm taking it down. Photo #1 is of the patch and photo #2 is the contest winner. The grandchildren always believed that their grandfather received it from BABE RUTH

Note: It's not a BABE RUTH league patch. The league started in 1951. This patch is from from 1934

Please advise.

It looks like you have all the info you need.. What are you asking?

Some dealers told me that there exist a photo of Ruth wearing a Jacket with the same patch on his jacket. I would love to see if ant collector on this forum seen a photo like this. Thank you

I seem to remember seeing a recent auction of that photo. Babe with a couple of kids with a jacket and a patch (not sure if it was the same patch). I think it was described as a "Babe Ruth Club" or "Camp". I'll see if I can find it if noone else knows of it offhand.
