Can anyone tell me what these are? All came from one guy who went in early 44 and retired in 73. The one appears to be some type of a wheel with 4 differen types of squadron patches on it and one of the four I have here. The patch with the horse carrying the stork, bull dog, cat and what appears to be tom from tom and jerry I have no clue as to what it is. The patch which says "Carrier Air Group 4", I have seen another which was at the Show of Shows several years ago and the guy was asking a high price for. I would like to see if anyone has any info on these and could help me. This guy was a very unique man as he held so many titles. He was a trainer at Pensacola which I have his id card from and he served at office or Naval warfare I also have a plack when he left which was signed by approx 40 different names. I would really appreciate any help with these patches. Thanks, Ryan

thanks for the help. these patches are ONLY A FEW of what I got from her. This man actually was a commander of the sundowners which I have those patches also including 2 when he took a drink. i was told one of them is a rare patch because it has a fish with wings and the patch is on blue material and is very small. the other patch when he went in the water is from the sundowners also having the grim reeper holding a pilot who slipped through his hands over a crashing plane. there is also an extremely nice patch which I believe to be one of his first squadrons he was in which has 2 bull dgos riding on a plane. also in this group is a plack which he was awarded from the Kitty Hawk when he made his successfull 100th landing on the aircraft carrier. anyway thanks for the help. i really need it with this grouping there is so much of it and i've not even began on all of his medals.
