Lot 84: VERY RARE TO FIND SOUVENIR BUTTER KNIFE FROM THE OLD VESSEL THE SS THEMISTOCLES

Very rare to find butter knife from the old turn of the 20th century vessel the SS (RMS) Themistocles, which is in a good condition and an item which you would not normally find available to purchase.

[TSS Themistocles was an 11,200-ton ocean liner of the Aberdeen Line launched in 1910, and later sold to the Shaw, Savill & Albion Line, working on routes to Australia for both companies. Themistocles was built at the Harland and Wolff shipyard in Belfast, Northern Ireland and launched on 22 September 1910. A sister ship, Demosthenes, was launched on 28 February 1911. She served as a British troopship during World War I and survived a number of convoy duties during World War II, remaining on the Australian route throughout and also after the war, until scrapped at Dalmuir on 24 August 1947.]
