Default Vintage Hoppe's patches.

These showed up recently at the local gun shop.

The proprietor told me a man came in with these in a bag, said he'd been cleaning out some things at home.

He gave them to the guy at the shop.

Made for kind of a cool display. Couldn't resist grabbing a pic and sharing it here.

I've bought no telling how many of those boxes in my time.

It's nice to see them. Thanks for the picture.

Great pic!
As an aside, I have an old bottle of Hoppe's solvent that my Grandfather had used back in the fifties.
