Buying on Ebay

Ebay usually has many Navy plaques for sale. Some sellers are junk dealers and some sellers are scam artists. If a seller says the item is made of resin (not a kit) then they are lying to you. Resin is a kit and the person is making them in their garage.
I can show you how to make a plaque emblem and I will give you the mold as well. My molds are standing the test of time right now , with many going on 20 years and still going strong , making emblems.
There was a biggie auction in New York and a seller had several Navy plaques for the auction block , stating they were the real deal. Someone pointed out , they all came from Ebay and proved it with pictures. Needless to say , that seller is no longer welcome at that auction house and "yes" , the word got out and that same person is no longer welcome at other auction houses either.

Note: I have several SSBN plaques not listed here. Please ask.

Enjoy

It's Only Money

I've been told that my prices are too high. Actually , they are not. Many of my items are from the NAVY. Meaning , they were made in the NAVY , by NAVY personnel.

Today , plaques are typically made in China , purchased from a trophy shop. Sometime around 1980 , the NAVY shut down many of the foundries. The personnel making those plaques were placed elsewhere and/or retired.

Most of these plaques are a work of art and in time , these items will appreciate in value.

Like I've said , they don't make these any more. AND , the ships and units are long gone.

Meanwhile , to help you with yourself , make me an offer. I can't take these with me when I die.
