Vintage National Institute of Health NHLBI, National Heart Lung Blood Institute, Lab Animal Med and Surgery, Jacket Patch Badge. 3" tall x 4 3/4" wide. These patches were issued at the National Institute of Health, NIH, Clinical Center, CC, in Bethesda, Maryland between 1970 - 1989. They were collected by employees, based on location, department, often times sewn on a garment or displayed on boards. There is a website that documents many of the various patches. This patch is not listed. The site shares 60 of 100 possible patches.

All my pictures are of the actual patch. If I have more than 1 of a patch, I have taken pictures and have a letter, they are stored with the same indicator, so you will be getting the exact patch you purchase. ()
