NCL used every marketing ploy available to keep the Norway booked to capacity throughout her life … and they did so in part by playing on the Ships History as the “France- last of the Great Transatlantic Liners”. A smart move on their part … it certainly added to the mystique of the great ship and probably kept folks coming back for more. These framed cabin plaques were used to explain that rich history and hung throughout all cabins onboard. These do have some signs of everyday wear and tear … but I can only believe a scant few must have been saved. Own your own piece of her history today! Shipping calculator will probably not be accurate. Id expect  these t0 ship around $22 USD to the lower 48 states 

Excellent Baggage tag from the 1930’s showing the SS Paris. Excellent condition and vibrant color. Front and back side shown in photo. No tie strings

I think this was the final premier brochure done for the Ile … and it is exceptionally gorgeous. Full of Interior photos and the lovely MMarie centerfold. This will be a post War centerpiece to your Ile De France collection. Fine Mint condition

A modern Placement for the De Grasse of 1924. This has a very heavy cork backing  I suppose it could be used as a lap writing board. The De Grasse barely survived WW2 and was rebuilt to initiate the French Line service when the hostilities ended. Excellent shape.

Simply the nicest brochure ever done for the little French ship. Know as the “Flounder” for her limping into NY Harbor on her maiden voyage. This brochure is filled with great interior photos and an outstanding centerfold portrait. Lovely heavy stock cover with a vibrant color portrait of the ship and her “shield” symbol.

Great little SS France menu from May 1973 … lovely embossed cover and excellent shape.

Probably the most exquisite top notch deluxe deck plan ever done for a ship .. and of course it is for the unforgettable Normandie. The trifold plan is in excellent pristine condition … it looks like this was kept in a drawer for the past 75+ years.

Best brochure done for the lovely post war Liberte. This the early version of this brochure that was filled with renderings and was redesigned after the Liberte came into service and packed with Photos … this is an excellent brochure! The centerfold is an incredible Starboard photo of the Liberte. A must have item for this lovely vessel.

Gosh-darned-rootin-tootin best brochure done for the lovely post war lle. Her interiors were mostly redesigned and upgraded … but they NEVER lost their early deco influences. Packed with Photos …this is an excellent brochure! Outstanding Marin Marie Centerfold of this beauty that would make Hugh Hefner blush if he liked ships like he likes the gals.!

Lovely set of playing cards in excellent condition. Gold edges and great house flag and undersea graphics including frolicking mermaids!

Lovely white souvenir hat ribbon from the mighty France!

Love this double hulled portrait deck of cards for the Lovely large Flagship SS France. Excellent condition for being open and used.

Great 1951 sailings folder for the French liner… in excellent condition .. covers the North Atlantic route.  Excellent funnel graphics that were used on many different French Line Publications

Great little interiors fold out for the France …. the last true French Flagship. Excellent shape!

This is my favorite brochure done for the France. It is full of great and unusual photos of public room and cabins as well as activities onboard. No date, but certainly after November 1969 when the SS United States was retired .. and the text advertises the France as the Longest Largest and FASTEST passenger ship. Excellent condition the is a label mark on the front cover.

Really nice folding brochure … containing rate and sailing info as well as great color phots of interior spaces. I love the artsy funnel cover. I was born the month is was issues in January 1969. Excellent condition.

Lovely shape… includes some pictures of interior spaces and general ship info . A little cursive writing on the cover.

Great little French language booklet dedicated to the building and outfitting of the SS France.
Filled with lots of photos and diagrams of the ship from keel laying to her Maiden Voyage. In great shape, 26 pages and includes a little insert about the ship. Dated 20 march 1962 a little bend to the front cover.

A Phone Plaque that was removed form the NCL Norway before she was towed to Germany and finally Alang for dismantling. This one comes from the B deck … and I am sure France/ Norway fans can decipher the exact location. Made from very heavy plastic.

Excellent Baggage tag for the MS Lafayette. She had a very short life … less than a decade from launch to her destruction by fire. She had majestic deco interiors and was an evolution forward in the French Shipbuilding program of the 1930’s. The Tag is in like new shape. The picture shows Front and back … cute little ship profile!

Nice mini deck plan for the SS France … great plans ands bw photos inside. I do not see a date … so I’m thinking mid 60’s

Excellent miniature deckplan for the mighty French lady. In excellent shape … has both the deckplans and some BW photos.
