Lot 95:
From the Union Castle Line vessel the RMMV Capetown Castle this is a souvenir cigarette case which is 3" (9cm) wide and is from the 1950’s. A very rare to find piece which has a glass top showing a superb picture of the ship and the name.
[RMMV Capetown Castle was a British passenger liner built by Harland & Wolff at Belfast for the Union-Castle Line’s mail service from Southampton to South Africa. The ship was launched on 23 September 1937 and was a slightly enlarged version of the Stirling Castle and Athlone Castle of 1936. After the outbreak of World War II, in January 1940, the government introduced the Liner Requisition Scheme and Capetown Castle was taken up for conversion into a troop ship.]
