Default 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.
