Vintage DX Oil & Gas “Trail Boss Club” cloth patch paired with a matching sticker—classic camping/outdoors club ephemera with bold blue-and-green graphics.
These patches were only issued after sending in $10 to join the DX-sponsored camping club, making this a fun, harder-to-find piece of mid-century/retro promotional history.
Details
