Lot 135:
From the Eastern Steamship Lines this is a superb glass ashtray which shows the company houseflag and name in the centre. The size of the glass piece is 4" (11cm) across and it is in a great condition being the type used on board and purchased as a souvenir.
[The original Eastern Steamship Company was formed by Charles Wyman Morse in 1901, from the merger of of several East Coast shipping lines. Ownership changed over the years, and other companies were merged. In 1914 it declared bankruptcy, but in 1914 it reappeared as Eastern Steamship Lines, and continued until the outbreak of war (in the US) in 1941, at which time it had eight major ships and dozens of smaller local vessels operating on services from Norfolk, Virginia in the south, to St Johns, New Brunswick in the north.]
