It seems a waste to buy a new patch kit simply to get a few more patches when the glue is still good.
Those look exactly like the Park Tool patches.

My problem is that I have to use a patch so seldom that the rubber cement ends up drying out. I just bought a large bottle of Elmer's rubber cement the other day to use for patching at home.
