A wonderfully niche piece of vintage winter-sports history, this snowmobile bundle includes a February 1970 issue of Sno-Mobile Times and a separate Arctic Cat Snow Mobile patch.
It is a strong display set for collectors of early snowmobiling memorabilia, Arctic Cat fans, cabin decor, garage decor, or anyone drawn to bold period graphics and story-rich sports ephemera.
The magazine has standout early-1970s cover design in blue, purple, and yellow, plus readable interior content with articles, photos, and period advertising.
The patch adds extra collector appeal with its black-and-cream embroidered Arctic Cat design and well-worn character. This is the actual bundle shown.

Why It Matters
This is the kind of vintage bundle that feels personal and specific in the best way. The magazine captures early snowmobiling culture on the page, while the Arctic Cat patch adds that extra layer of collector character. Together, they make a great choice for someone building a story-rich home library, a cabin collection, a workshop wall, or a vintage motorsports display with real personality.
For buyers looking for the right copy rather than just any old snowmobile magazine, the appeal here is in the pairing: readable period content, bold graphics, and a companion patch that gives the set even more presence.
