There were
a number of White Star Line souvenirs that could be
purchased. Most of the time these could be found aboard
the various ships in the gift or barber shops.
Enamel
lapel pins made for an attractive gift or was a great
way to display the pride of being on one of the world's
most famous and recognized ocean liners. Many of these
pins can be found bearing the name of a specific ship.
The vintage
stick or hat pin on the left shows the generic White
Star Line burgee and could be from any number of ships
spanning several years. The colorful and detailed lapel
pin above, is again generic in style, but has been seen
with various ships names (such as the RMS Majestic)
on an enameled ribbon below the flag.
Nameless
pins are enjoyable to own because it raises a question
in the back of the mind (although doubtful)....Could
this be from the Titanic?
