Description: US Postal Service Patch Collection 1955-1990 TOTAL OF 17 PATCHES IN THE LOT ALL FOR 1 PRICE USPS Historical & Original Items In 1955, Former PMG Arthur E. Summerfield authorized the first emblem patch for uniforms worn by letter carriers. Employees were not required to wear them until 1957. The original emblems were 3-inch circular patches with a backward (facing right) horse and rider that were worn on the left sleeves of shirts and coats. The direction of the horse and rider was flipped to face forward in early 1965. The center background was changed to blue. The eagle seal was adopted following passage of the Postal Reorganization Act in 1970 the law that created USPS as an independent establishment of the governments executive branch. That same year, the 3-inch circular uniform patch was replaced by a 3 1/2-inch square one that featured an eagle facing left atop a red bar over the words U.S. MAIL and a blue bar underneath. In 1990, the patch was redesigned to feature a blue eagle facing right atop a red bar, over the words U.S. MAIL.
