General Maritime Artefacts
Lot 125:
Souvenir from the Royal Mail Line shipping company which is a clear glass front cigarette case showing on it the RMS Andes and the name of the vessel. A very rare find and is in a great condition.
[The Royal Mail Steam Packet Company was a British shipping company founded in London in 1839 by Scot James Macqueen. After good and bad times it became the largest shipping group in the world in 1927 when it took over the White Star Line. So much of Britain’s shipping industry was involved in RMSPC that arrangements were made to guarantee the continuation of ship operations after it was liquidated. The Royal Mail Lines Ltd (RML) was created in 1932 and took over the ships of RMSPC and other companies of the former group.]
