This is not neccessarily a preservation topic, but i can't seem to find what i want when i search for it. I have been looking for some iron-on embroidered railroad crests. A museum i recently visited had some, and i bought a couple to try out. I have emailed them many times in the past month to ask about a supplier, or to buy a few more (even sent them private messages on here) but for some reason they never respond (customer service seems to be lacking) I am looking for a supplier of these patches, and am wondering where other groups get thiers from. There has to be a supplier, but i can't seem to find one with anything decent. Any help would be appreciated (private email of course)
