Old House Painting - Exterior patchOld House Painting - Exterior patch

House Painting - Exterior

Changed in an unknown year

House Painting - Exterior used to just have a black outline of painting materials. Later, Vocational category was completely retired and labeled as antique. During this time, the patches were produced with a gray background. This is the example seen here with House Painting - Exterior. The Vocational category was brought back after a large outcry and the designs are now back to a red background. It was then changed to color and the circular outline of the honor was made half gray and half yellow.
