We divide this section of OnTheDash into two pages -- one section showing some genuine Heuer jacket patches, from the 1960's / 1970's, and the other showing what are believed to be recent reproductions.

The reproductions began showing up on the internet in late 2001, with single patches selling for over $100.00 (for a short while). As the flood of these patches continued, prices quickly declined, until they were struggling to fetch $5.00. The stories that accompanied the patches invariably involved an "old mechanic" who had put the box of patches into his desk drawer in the 1960's and an "auto jumble" where they were recently discovered.
