As one of the Media Representative's for the APBA Vintage & Historic class, I have come up with an idea to promote the Vintage Class while in turn making us 'appear' to be professional and organized. 
You guessed it - VINTAGE HYDROPLANE BUTTONS! 
I want to give boat owners rock bottom prices for small number orders of professional quality buttons. Proceeds (if I make my money back) will be used to produce photo posters, signs, etc. for our vintage events.
Here are the following pricing details:
 
Order 20 or less $2.00 each
Order 21-50 $1.75 each
Order 51-99 $1.50 each
Order 100+ $1.00 each (BEST BARGAIN!)
Order 100+ $0.75 each for APBA
Vintage Members Only

 
 

Actual size 2-1/2”
Metal button with safety pin type back


Button details are crystal clear (not like this 
crummy scan) and colors are VERY vivid!
The picture is identical to what we start with!

 
Buttons can be ordered in three styles:
Style 1:
Preferred Method (Includes Our APBA Vintage Logo) - THEY LOOK VERY PROFESSIONAL!
$25.00 Art Charge (See Agitator sample with 'burst pattern'). I will create custom artwork specifically for your boat! You are allowed any amount of text on the pin as long as I can make it fit and be readable. All text will be enhanced and color selected to provide maximum clarity. This is a one time art charge and can be used with no additional charge for multiple button re-orders. Artwork is owned and copyrighted by the creator. 
Minimum order of 50 buttons required with this option.

Style 2:
No Art Charge. I will take your unmodified photo and put the boat name and number under it in plain block white text (This is very boring; however, I understand). 

Style 3:
No Art Charge. You create your own spectacular artwork and forward it to me. However, be forewarned color selections for text may not be clear or readable in a button format. A 3.0" field is required with text/photo contained within a 2.25" circle. I will print what you give me. 
NO EXCEPTIONS


  • For use of the Style 1 artwork outside of button creation (T-shirts, stickers, business cards, etc.) - please inquire.
  • In many cases we will have a photo available for you if I captured you in past years vintage events. However, if you choose to use your own photo you must prove you own the original negative or have written permission from the photographer to mass produce his image in button form. (I will need a copy of this letter). NO EXCEPTIONS.
  • Single button purchases are available from buttons I have made to date. For a list of what is available for sale, please email me.
  • Prices do not include shipping.
