Very common little souvenir for any Swedish American liner! I have a few of these in my own collection and use them to hold other little liner an ship bits. Like new condition. with slightly different logos

Lovely pin tray for the Statendam … with the change in funnel graphics , tis dates from after her “Cinderella” refit of the early 1970s’ when she switched to full time cruising. Lovely image of one of my favorite liners. Excellent condition.

Really cool booklet all about the darling of the Dutch. the booklet contains all sorts of historic info about the ship as well as nautical terms etc. Very Informative with lovely Profile of the ship in b/w on the cover.

Just a lovely little ship dish for the HAL cruiser. She started life for Mooremac went to HAL, then off to other owners back to HAl and off again… Long an interesting Life. Gold trimmed and in excellent condition.

Interesting little item… a nylon packet with HAL’s 2 largest ships shown on each side. This looks like a large matchbook … but inside is a packet of new “white” nylons. Interesting!

Awesome paperweight for the last Kungsholm! I believe this to be crystal .. it is way too heavy to just be glass.
Mighty starboard profile is shown … this is in excellent shape thought the gold lettering of the ship name is wearing away. There is still a Nautiques price tag on the side ($55) from years ago before Leon (from Atlanta)sold Nautiques to Don in Vermont

Lovely inaugural book for the last Veendam … 4th in HAL’s history. The book covers the building, interiors, artwork and lots of info on the ship. the book is in excellent shape and full of photos and info!

Lovely deckplan for the little one class combo liner. Such a cute little lady … the deckplan is written in 4 languages. Excellent condition. . Dated September 1965

Nieuw Amsterdam: A wonderful maiden year brochure that was done to advert her amazing modern Interiors and artworks. She was truly a Dutch masterpiece. HAL kept her pristine and spotless until the last year or so of her budget cruising life. Some bumps and yellowing to the outside cover … but inside chock-a-block full of renderings and photos!

NAL’s answer to cruising in the mid 60’s the Sagafjord. She was a splendid ship with live for Cunard and others after NAL sold off thier cruise interests She was retired from service not too long ago, another victim of SOLAS regulations. Complete deck … barely used from what I can tell

Lovely heavy china cruise dish from the Vistafjord .. NAL’s last ship. She was later acquired by Cunard (along with Sagafjord) and later revived the Famous cruising name of Caronia. She was just recently retired from Saga cruises. The dish is in excellent condition… great for coins , pins or other little items around an enthusiast’s home.

These heavy pin type dishes were all the rage for souvenirs aboard many cruise line vessels in the late 80’s to mid 90’s. This one is from an 11 day cruise for the Sagafjord dec 10-21st 1991. In perfect shape!

Perfect pin dish for the spotless little Statendam. She was the HAL flagship in the late 50’s until the Rotterdam came on the scene and took her spot. She made lots of money for her owners cruising .. and the image on the dish is after her early 70’s “Cinderella” refit. Perfect condition!

Nice crystal clear glass mug for the lovely Westerdam. The ship is outlines in gold and black and the cup is made from molded lobes of  heavy glass.  Certainly an onboard purchase as a memento or gift.

Nice little crystal cordial glass from one of the HAL ships like the Statendam or Rotterdam. Lovely inscribed HAL “Nieuw Amsterdam” logo on the belly of the glass … would be a great add to your Cordial collection. Excellent shape.

I know this came from the Regent Sea (ex Gripsholm), cause a buddy of mine tucked it in his pocket when he was onboard her in Tampa. Stainless steel … certainly not the silver service that would have been onboard during the Gripsholm days. Thanks goodness folks removed items while she was laid up in Tampa … She sank on the way to the breakers.

WOW… if Kungsholm is your ship … This is a must have item. It is in Gorgeous shape… with just a little tiny bit of spine wear. The contents are typical of these issues … lots of adverts for supplies for the ship … and then great detailed info/ plans/ interior pictures and mechanical pictures and lots of ETC. She was the first BIG new build for SAL ( I consider Stockholm to be small)… and was followed by Gripsholm and then replaced by Kungsholm (she was then sold to NDL to become Europa).In the 80’s, she was holed at Cadiz , sank into the harbor mud and later scrapped as Costa’s Columbus C’.

Lovely booklet that sums up the life of the Rotterdam. These seem to be fairly hard to find … as are others in this booklet series. I still get goose bumps when I see the Ritz Carleton and Ambassador rooms …. Truly masterpieces of 50’s Dutch design!

Totally pristine and gorgeous hanging sign for the NA … you would think this was brand new! HAL used a lot of these types of “enameled” signs (as did other Lines) … I have seen them for most ships of in the 50’s. Stamped made in Belgium.

Just lovely cruise plan for the Rotterdam. The covers and pages are stiff like they were just printed. The plan covers the areas used for cruising … and has lovely pictures and isometrics of cabins. You can’t beat these! Date from 1968 and have an agency stamp! restocked!

These great souvenir spoons are still in their original box with tissue and “compliments from HAL card” . I am sure these were a VIP gift for some lucky passenger that probably booked a grand “spotless” cabin! I have no doubt these will shine up well with a little elbow grease.

Good “3 crown” wooden hanger from the Swedish American line. This needs a little glue and repair work to the “delaminating” tip on one side. I’m pretty sure this came from the Gripsholm/ Regent Sea when she was laid up in Tampa.

Felt souvenir pennant for HAL’s 1957 Statendam. She is one of my favorite 50’s ladies … and I have a few items from her from my buddy Peter Knego at www.midshipcentury.com. This pennant was used for sure … it has pin holes an the ends, the last “M” is a bit crinkled and it is missing one of the set of the tie tassels.
