Lot 129: TIE PIN FROM THE FAMOUS VESSEL THE RMS MAURETANIA

Very rare find of a souvenir tie pin from the vessel the Mauretania. It is in a very good condition and shows on it a view of the ship and unlikely to find another one like this

[RMS Mauretania was launched on 28 July 1938 at the Cammell Laird yard in Birkenhead, England, and was completed in May 1939. The second Mauretania was the first ship built for the newly formed Cunard White Star company following the merger in April 1934 of the Cunard and White Star Line. On the withdrawal of the first RMS Mauretania in 1934, to prevent a rival company using the name and to keep it available for the new liner, arrangements were made for the Red Funnel paddle steamer Queen to be renamed Mauretania in the interim.]
