VP-2 Ship's Store

    The VP-2 Association establisheed the VP-2 Ship’s Store in the summer of 2004 prior to the San Antonio reunion.  The purpose is to make VP-2 memorabilia items available to our Association members.  Now that the Store has been in operation for two years, the decision has been made to reduce our overall inventory by eliminating the various styles of shirts that we have been carrying.  The cost of the inventory needed to keep all sizes, colors and styles of shirts in stock is high.  After selling hundreds of shirts to our members, the demand for these products is no longer as great as it once was.

    The Ship’s Store will continue to sell the other items described on this website, but the shirts will not be restocked when they are sold out.  We continue to search for a volunteer who is willing to take over the duties as Ship’s Store manager.  Until we find that person, the continuation of our Ship’s Store is in question.

    For your convenience, the tables below each shirt description show how many shirts of each style, size and color remain in the inventory.  These tables are kept current as shirt inventory numbers drop.  Please refer to these tables when ordering to ensure that an item remains in stock.



    VP-2 ball caps and women’s visors, both with an elaborate embroidered VP-2 logo are priced at only $12.00 for ball caps and $10.00 for visors.  These caps and visors come in navy blue only… one size fits all.




    Two T-shirt designs are available.   One shirt has a single color blue P2V-7 picture on the front.  The other style has the VP-2 King Neptune patch design reproduced in four bright colors on the front.  The P2V-7 shirts sell for $9.00.  The King Neptune shirts sell for $11.00 in large and extra-large sizes, and for $12.00 for 2XL size.

AVAILABILITY: Sizes  S  M   XL 2XL
    P2V-7 design 3 12 0 0
    King Neptune design 0 0 14 0


    VP-2 short sleeve golf shirts are Anvil cotton 6.8oz, 100% preshrunk with fashion collar, welt cuffs, three button neck for men or women in both white and navy blue.  These shirts have the VP-2 P2V-7 logo embroidered on the left breast.  The price for these shirts is unbelievably low.  Note that men’s and women’s shirts are sized  differently with reversed buttons for the women.  Men’s shirts in size S are $18.00.  Women’s shirts in size M are $18.00.

AVAILABILITY: Sizes  S  M
    Men's White shirts 5 0
    Men's Blue shirts 5 0
    Women's White shirts 0 2


    The sweatshirt is 10 oz. 80/20 cotton/poly embroidered with the VP-2 P2V-7 logo on the breast is now available only in white.  (The blue version shown in the photo has sold out.)  This comfortable shirt is priced at $19.00 for size M. 
AVAILABILITY: Size M
    White 4


    Also available is the last version of the standard size 4.5” squadron patches showing King Neptune holding his trident and riding a black bomb.  This is the same patch we wore on our flight jackets and is priced at $4.50.  We also carry a 3" squadron patch for $3.00.  That same King Neptune design is featured on a Cloisonné lapel pin.  These hand-crafted pins are dye stamped brass discs, filled by hand with miniscule colored glass beads, kiln fired at high temperature, gold plated and then polished.  This is the top quality lapel pin on the market today and is only $7.00.  A limited number of these cloisonne designs are mounted with a ring for a bracelet or necklace at the same price.


   
The newly designed VP-2 ceramic coffee mugs were introduced last year showing an in-flight P2V-7 on one side of the mug and the King Neptune squadron patch on the other side.  These 11 oz. mugs are dishwasher and microwave safe and affordably priced at $10 each.  These mugs get lonely when by themselves and deserve to be ordered in pairs for their own well-being.

   
Our supplier found a combination travel alarm clock, desk calendar and calculator that we’re selling for the ridiculous price of $5.30 each, battery included.  Not only that, but the clock has the VP-2 patch design etched into its top face.  At this price, you should be buying these for all your friends.

    This is the only store where you can purchase the old standard Zippo windproof lighter with the four-color VP-2 patch on the side.  This is a collector’s item, and sells for $18.00, while supplies last.

    Send all orders via snail mail.  To print the mail order form, click here.  The completed order form and your check or money order (made out to the VP-2 Association) should be sent to Vic Gulliver at 1900 Franklin Dr., Glenview, IL 60026-1076.  Inquiries, particularly in regard to shirt stocks remaining may be sent to vicgulliver@comcast.net.

    Thank you for supporting our VP-2 Association.
