A rare vintage patch from Eckley Miners' Village, a historic coal mining town in Pennsylvania, USA. This village was established in 1854 as a center for anthracite coal mining, a "Patch Town," a rare planned community for coal miners in America. It is also famous as the filming location for the 1969 movie "The Molly Maguires" starring Sean Connery. Today, it is preserved as an open-air museum by the Pennsylvania Historical and Museum Commission, conveying the coal mining life of the 19th century. The patch features a silhouette of a "breaker" (coal sorting facility) used in the coal mines at the time, and is a piece that evokes the history of the workers who supported America's industrial development. The material is sturdy, making it ideal for collections, as well as for customizing jackets and bags. #80s #VintagePatch #VintagePatch #AmericanVintageClothing #Pennsylvania #CoalMine #WorkStyle #AmericasCasual #Military #CorporateItem #Retro #CollectorsItem #Souvenir #USAGoods #HistoricalBuilding
