This lot is devoted to the Cunard Lines RMS Franconia. In truth its two different RMS Franconias. One that was launched in 1923 and scrapped in 1956, and one that took the name in 1963 and continued until around 1973 when it left Cunard service. This lot comes from both of these ships.

This comes from the estate of a cruise ship aficionado who enjoyed cruise ships and also collected items. According to receipts many of these items were bought at antique stores in the 1990's, and have been kept safe in plastic envelopes within a binder, and inside of a trunk ever since. They were carefully catalogued into sections. Please see my stores "Collectibles - paper and photos- ship and cruise related" section for more from this estate.
- Thank
you for making our first few months so successful, we have decided to
expand to a store- please visit us at:
http://stores.ebay.com/Shire-Sellers
- Thank
you for checking out our product, we are a veteran owned (Semper
Fidelis) husband and wife team who set up Shire Sellers as a side venture. We try to go to auctions on weekends and sometimes buy box
lots of items
which often contain some items we want to keep, but others in good
condition that we simply do not have space for. We donate thousands of
dollars worth of items to charity per year, but have now also decided to
share some of the more interesting finds with
you. We have priced items to be competitive with what they have sold on
eBay in the past and are open, within reason, to negotiate prices as
well. We usually ship next business day. Please message with any questions.
- Combined Shipping available for most orders (if not already free), including all media mail orders (books, records, dvd's, etc.).
