A few months ago I acquired (with a lot of other random space patches from Gemini to STS) what looks like a regular AB Emblem Skylab program patch, however upon further inspection some slight variations in stitching were evident: Mainly the stitching in the "Solar Observatory" section, there's criss-cross truss stitching like the Lion Brothers' version. The stitching is also slightly tighter on the solar panels. The white lettering is just a bit smaller as wel. The way the clouds are done are identical to the common AB Emblem version so I am pretty sure this is theirs. I hadn't seen another likes this until I just saw another one on eBay this week (321111991546). |

I finally found some definitive proof that this is an A-B Emblem variation. Curiously, it was produced at the or very near to the same time as the common version, as the pricing on this style packaging changed over time and these are the same:  | |
