Wasn't that just a fancy title
for the "Patch"
Buckles: Gus always wore a lion's claw on his watch chain.
Or, looking at it another way, "Patch" was a genteel, polite, civilized term for "Legal Adjuster."
The term "fixer" was also quite prevelant. The sunday school shows seemed to have a "legal Adjuster" whereby the "Grift Shows" had a "patch" or "fixer" Tanglefoot. I recall Joe Hayworth on Cole Bros. and was not surprised when he became b"phone promoter" running "boiler rooms". All in the family, so to speak.tanglefoot. Incidentally the great Cole Mngr. Noyelles Burkhardt became the "legal Adjuster on RBBB following the great Herb Duvall.
