Lot 124: EARLY SOUVENIR RMS QUEEN MARY SOUVENIR PLATE FROM THE FIRST YEARS OF NEW HOME MOORED AT LONG BEACH, CALIFORNIA

Very early type souvenir from the RMS Queen Mary moored at Long Beach, California which is a superb souvenir china plate. Purchased on board during a visit this item is in a very good condition and the size is 8½" (22cm) wide.

[The Queen Mary’s creation and launch was nothing if not extraordinary and her story is rich with history, elegance and grandeur. From the time her construction began in 1930 in Clydebank, Scotland, the Queen Mary was destined to stand in a class all her own. Despite suffering economic setbacks during the Great Depression, which stalled construction on the ship for several years, Cunard Line spared no expense on building the Queen Mary – which was originally known as job #534.]
