Description
A rare souvenir from the 'Duchess of Atholl' cruise ship, in the form of a ladies powder compact, the lid beautifully decorated with detailed transfer of the Canadian Pacific Steamships Ltd's superimpose over butterfly wings, very typical design of the 1920s and 30s and set into a chromium plated case, the reverse with engine turned decoration. Very good condition, colour remains bright, sound hinge and catch, complete with original polished steel mirror. Size 48mm. Square. RMS Duchess of Atholl was one of a class of four steam turbine ocean liners built in Glasgow in 1927–29 for Canadian Pacific Steamships Ltd's transatlantic service between Britain and Canada. In the Second World War she was converted into a troop ship. In 1942 a U-boat sank her in the South Atlantic, killing four of Duchess of Atholl's crew, whilst 821 survivors were rescued.
