WSL Enameled Pins

 

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?
