EARLY SOUVENIR TIE PIN FROM THE RMS MAURETANIA
From the famous Cunard Line vessel the RMS Mauretania this is a very old souvenir tie pin which is in a good condition and a very rare find.
[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 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.]
