Description

Scarce loving cup from the Titanic’s sister ship

Loving cup nicely engraved on the front with the vessel’s name, “R.M.S. ‘Olympic,’” measuring approximately 4″ tall with a 2″ diameter rim, which would have been awarded to passengers on the Olympic for winning games or other contests. Reverse is impressed with a Henry Perkins and Sons hallmark, dating the cup to the earlier part of 1909–1928. Also bears the letters “PNS,” possibly to indicate a composition of plated nickel silver. In fine condition, with a bit of tarnishing (mostly to the back). Provenance: Guernsey’s, 2004. A gorgeous memento from the White Star Line in the Titanic era. RR Auction COA.
