(World's Fair, 1964) An extremely rare patch from General Electric's "Progressland" at the 1964-65 New York World's Fair. Disney created the "Carousel of Progress" for General Electric's Progressland, which benefited from the culminated knowledge of Audio-Animatronics gained from the "Enchanted Tiki Room" and "Great Moments with Mr. Lincoln" attractions. The "Carousel of Progress" also featured a revolving seating area, so that guests revolve around different scenes without having to leave their seats, an idea spear-headed by Imagineers Roger Broggie and Bob Gurr. This popular attraction was later added to Disneyland in 1967 and remained until 1973. This patch features a red and white logo for the attraction and reads "Progressland" along the bottom, as used at the earlier World's Fair version. This patch measures 3"x3" and is in very good condition with little wear.
