A nice little souvenir spoon, made in Holland, featuring an Alaskan Cruise Line vessel at the top of the handle. A banner beneath the ship reads: "Alaska". Because of this, we had thought the piece might be merely an Alaska souvenir; however the accurate representation of one of the line's vessels convinced us otherwise.

A wonderful floaty featuring one of the "Blue Canoes" of the Alaska Marine Highway System sailing past a fishing vessel off the Alaska coast. The oil is intact and the pen is in great condition. A neat memento.

This is a great little enameled charm, a souvenir from one of the "Blue Canoes" of the Alaska Marine Highway System. Very nicely designed and executed in white and two colors of blue enamel. Condition is perfect. The piece bears a 1979 copyright and is attributed to Stena Designs of Sitka.

Very nice, scallop shaped, 10" serving tray made by Kensington. Some scratches in the brushed aluminum finish, but an unusual piece to find engraved with Alcoa's "seagull & funnel" logo.

A neat piece from Kensington for the Alcoa Line. We believe these were likely sold in the gift shop on board, but might also have been used or placed in the staterooms. Simply done, the line's seagull and funnel logo appears in the bottom and is quite large at over 3" across. The dish itself measures 5½" in diameter. Showing some scratching to the surface indicating use, but still in very nice condition.

A beautiful aluminum bowl, manufactured by Kensington for the Alcoa Steamship Company. It is thought that this, and similar items, were available for purchase by passengers on board, but it is also possible that they saw use in the on-board service as well. This example features the line's "seagull & funnel" logo engraved in the bottom of the bowl - an unusually large image. Condition is very good, though numerous scratches from use are visible. We have offered a number of Alcoa Kensington pieces in the past; cake servers, trays, and plates, but this is the first large bowl we've come upon.

Souvenir pin trays or miniature ashtrays from American Export Isbrandtsen Lines. These trays were originally sold in sets of four, including two with the ship's portrait, and two bearing the line's house flag. Check the listing page for sets or individual items currently available.

A beautiful gold tone square compact by Volupte, with its original felt sleeve and box, and bearing the square rigger logo. Very light wear. A nice memento from Constitution.

A wonderful tournament award from the President Cleveland. This example is one of the nicest we have seen, and was obviously much treasured and well-cared-for, as the finish is excellent, and all pieces are intact. One of a pair recently acquired, the other for "Achievement".

A very rare memento from the Arosa Line's flagship, Arosa Sky. As this vessel sailed for the line for just over a year, it is quite understandable that few of these dolls survive. This sailor is in very good condition, with minimal signs of fading and soil. His composition head has suffered a bit of a crack, which begins at his left ear and runs across both eyes. This is very fine and barely visible unless the doll is closely examined, but it does make him a bit less-than-perfect. However his rarity more than compensates! His delightful, toothy expression is somewhat disarming, but characteristic of his origins. For those of you who collect these little sailors, this is unquestionably one of the rare ones!

A very nice enameled souvenir spoon from the B.C. Ferries flagship (1966) Queen of Prince Rupert. An attractive item, with a broadside portrait of the ship at the top of the handle, enameled in black and two shades of blue. Marked "Made in Holland" on the reverse. Excellent condition.

A truly beautiful souvenir from the Queen of Vancouver. This is a fine bone china cup & saucer from Royal Grafton - both pieces bear a color portrait of the ship, illustrating her as she initially appeared, prior to her famous "stretch & lift," which added approximately 87' to her midsection. The china is bright white with gold edge decoration. Near mint condition. A beautiful display piece, and a wonderful memento!

A beautiful example of an uncommon item from Compagnie Maritime Belge, known as the Belgian Line. A silver inlay on celluloid pocket knife from the Elizabethville; one of five sisters built for the line between 1947 and 1951. Solingen blades from Germany; the reverse bears the ship's name in large block italic letters. Excellent condition, the knife appears to have seen little or no use. As for the ship herself, she survived until being severely damaged by fire in March of 1968, and had been completely scrapped by December of the same year.

A neat set of three glasses from the gift shop on board SS Bermuda Star. The glasses are cylindrical, and are decorated with a wide blue band. A red "porthole" allows one to look into the glass and see, on the opposite side, the ship's portrait and the BSL house flag. An interesting memento!

A neat souvenir from TSS Antenor of the Blue Funnel Line. This three-handled miniature loving cup or toothpick holder bears the line's house flag in dark blue and white enamel, with the vessel's name on a banner, below. Condition is very good, showing some pitting around the appliqué, but the vast majority of the plating is intact - not polished down to the base metal, which is how these items usually turn up! The Antenor had three sister ships, and sailed in the Liverpool-Far East service. She was broken up in 1953.

An extraordinarily rare premium from Kellogg's - a punch-out and build model of the Empress of Britain. Lithographed in Canada, and likely produced exclusively for the Canadian market, the model will measure 15¾" in length when completed - of course it is best and most valuable left un-built and as is! Printed on a single sheet with perforations around the pieces; there is a separate, slightly smaller sheet of paper included. This is a nearly identical reduced printing of the larger piece, however the text is entirely in French, apparently for those who are unable to decipher the English instructions! We have seen the Normandie and Queen Mary models from Kellogg's in the past - this one was unknown to us, and has got to be extremely uncommon. Some soiling overall, and the lifeboat section has become detached. There is some water staining to the French instruction sheet, but no wrinkling. All parts and pieces are intact - nothing is missing! Rare, rare, rare!

A rare souvenir from CPR's Melita. A silver plated souvenir spoon surmounted by an enameled brass badge featuring the line's checkerboard house flag and the vessel's name. The Melita had an interesting career, having been launched in 1917; entering service as a troop transport; being sold to Italian scrappers in 1935, only to be resurrected as the Liguria to, once again, carry troops; then struck by an aerial torpedo in January of 1941. Not raised until 1950, but that was her final end, as she would be scrapped in August of the same year. Her passenger service for Canadian Pacific spanned the years 1920-1934.

A pair of smoked glass tumblers bearing the house flag of the Central Gulf Lines. Excellent condition, showing minor wear.

A souvenir print (watercolor) by Vasco, featuring a portrait of MS Bohème. This item was acquired during a 1974 Caribbean cruise on board the vessel. It is a charming image of the ship - she is wearing the colors of the Wallenius Line, but was sailing under charter to Commodore at the time. Published by Buccaneer Watercolors of Hialeah, Florida. Faint vertical creases from being rolled; otherwise very nice condition.

A charming set of Norwegian-made ceramic items for Commodore Cruise Line. We believe this is a set which was likely purchased in the gift shop of Enchanted Seas or Enchanted Isle, but the vase is certainly weighty enough to have been intended for on-board use. The salt and pepper shakers are differently and unusually shaped, and the three pieces make a wonderful display, each bearing the line's name and logo. Excellent condition.

A stylish set of Norwegian-made shakers, which we believe were likely obtained in the gift shop on board one of the vessels of the Commodore Cruise Line. It is possible these were used in the onboard dining room or cabin service, however we have yet to confirm this absolutely. These items do show signs of use, but logos and lettering are intact.

A neat felt doll from the Viking Princess. The doll is dressed entirely in a blue sailor suit and hat, and holds a ribbon bearing the ship's name in her right hand. "M/S Viking Princess" appears on her hat band as well. A neat little memento!

The second of a pair of sailor dolls acquired from the Viking Princess. Unlike her sister, who was dressed all in blue, this charming figure wears a white tunic with her blue pants. The ship's name appears both on her hat band and on the ribbon she holds in her right hand.
