PLEASE NOTE: We are BOTH IN THE OFFICE as of MONDAY 06/09,
BUT this is somewhat Temporary,
So we will be keeping the Yellow Notification up through EARLY JULY!!
As we will be doing 4 shows over the next 3 weekends, and I will be on then road with most of our Military Artifacts from 6/18 to as late as 7/04 so there could be delays in shipping!!
Update 06/09/25: WE ARE still EXPERIENCING SOME TECHNICAL ISSUES WITH non-PayPal CREDIT CARD PURCHASES!!
We Hope to FINALLY Have this Issue CORRECTED by July or August!!
If you would like to PAY for an Artifact with a CREDIT CARD, please email and I will get an invoice emailed to you ASAP!
We are HAPPY TO ACCEPT YOUR ORDERS during this time, and we will promptly SHIP MOST orders within ONE Business Day of Receipt of Payment!
And, as always, if you would like to fund your $100.00+ order through a Bank that offers ZELLE, ASK ABOUT our ZELLE DISCOUNT!!

ARTIFACT:
World War II United States Naval Air Station Corpus Christi jacket patch. The center of the patch is a red, embroidered circle containing a five point star that shows the letters: "CC" in the center and surrounding: "U. S. N. A. S.". The outer edge of the center of the winged patch reads: "WE KEEP THEM FLYING". After the bombing at Pearl Harbor, the amount of trainees nearly tripled and the NAS provided intermediate training on a variety of aircraft. By 1944, more than 35,000 pilots had received their pilot wings from the Corpus Christi Naval Air Station, then considered the largest training base in the US. One of the members of the third graduating class was former President George H. W. Bush, who became the youngest pilot to graduate.
