Description
Fine; quite literally As New, though received here new in October of 2000. ‘The Outer Limits’ Television Series (1990s) collector’s embroidered patch. Large, at 6 13/16″ x 5 1/4″. Obverse in gilt and white thread embroidery on deep forest green fine-ribbed cloth. Embroidery executed through stabilizing cloth on reverse. See images of both sides. ‘The Outer Limits’ series of the nineties was an updated version of the 60s’ series of the same name, with newer and better special effects and other production values. Both incarnations were inspired by Rod Serling’s “The Twilight Zone” series, a now-timeless sequence of Science Fiction / Horror tales with a solemn narrated message at the beginning and end of each installment, usually a lesson about regarding the nature of the spirit of the human species, sometimes with a cosmological twist as well, delivered by Serling. Both incarnations of The Outer Limits followed his lead in that and in other major creative elements. While the 90s Outer Limits had, of course, better production values in general, being newer, neither acolyte ever quite matched Serling’s pre- and post-episode message delivery or writing. All three are now, of course, a part what makes the genre so collectable in all forms. An extraordinarily scarce patch, having apparently never been produced in large number, nor widely distributed. Ships in stout protection, of course. Smph5
