NDL: silver plated soup spoon. My guess is this dates from the 1930’s Bremen/ Europa/ Columbus era. This spoon is heavy and has the key and anchor logo, Typical marks from use and onboard scullery visits! I am sure it will clean up nicely!

NDL: 3 Big Silver spoons. I have no idea what ship these are from … but my guess is they date from the 1930’s Bremen/ Europa/ Columbus era. The spoons are heavy and have the key and anchor logo. Based on the little buffing I tried, I’m sure they willl clean up! Typical marks from use and onboard scullery visits!

NDL: 4 Silver spoons. I have no idea what ship these are from … but my guess is they date from the 1930’s Bremen/ Europa/ Columbus era. The spoons are heavy and have the key and anchor logo w/ a little rope design around the edge. Based on the little buffing I tried, I’m sure they willl clean up! Typical marks from use and onboard scullery visits!

NDL: 7 Silver spoons. I have no idea what ship these are from … but my guess is they date from the 1930’s Bremen/ Europa/ Columbus era. The spoons are heavy and have the key and anchor logo.

Hamburg American Line: Imperator. She was the first of Ballin’s big three and post WW1 became Cunard’s Berengaria. The famed cast iron eagle figurehead was short lived … the wings today are deteriorating someplace on the Atlantic seabed. This is one of the most impressive and very early brochures for her … and filled with crisp German photographs. Just stunning! I saw a ragged copy of this sell on Ebay for $375 this past month.. this one is near perfect (only slightly chipped cover edges) and a much better deal!

NDL Bremen5/ Europa: Mint unopened double set of playing card for the 60’s German Duo.

Very nice little Feb 1934 passenger list and log for the 11th Mediterranean cruise organized by James Boring. The list is in great shape: except someone did hole punch it and also folded a page corner at sometime in the past. The owner must have been a tourist class passenger.. there are red pencil tick marks next to several of the TC passengers and a name or 2 written into the list.

Nice folding deckplan from the early 60s for the Hanseatic. She was a very popular ship … till an engine room fire in NYC harbor cut her life short. She was quickly towed back to German and scrapped. The Zim line Shalom was quickly purchased as her replacement. Excellent condition w/ agency stamp.
