Interesting and scarce felt patch, measuring 4 7/8" in diameter, issued by the Preferred Products company, the same company that issued several other Milwaukee Braves picture sets in the mid 1950s.  While the company is not identified on the patch anywhere, a paper tag included inside the cellophane wrapper that houses the unopened pieces identified the manufacturer.  Intended to be sewn onto jackets, the felt patches are rare enough that not every player in the checklist has been discovered, though it is theorized that all the players pictured in the 1954 Preferred Products Braves photo set were also available in the patch set.  Relatively clean with some minor soiling, certainly a scarce and interesting issue, coveted by advanced collectors.
