STEAMSHIP “RMS MAURETANIA” SELF-FRAMED TIN SIGN.

STEAMSHIP “RMS MAURETANIA” SELF-FRAMED TIN SIGN. This sign originally started out in life as a sign for her sister ship the Lusitania.

This is one of those examples. SIZE: 39” w. x 28” h. CONDITION: Extensive areas throughout the sky have had professional museum quality airbrush paint restoration, but are virtually undetectable to the naked eye without a blacklight. The sign displays in very good to excellent condition with some scattered scuffs and wear to the paint on the rope braid border. 1-10473 (800-1,200)
