Third-class plan, measuring 34" x 20½". Five images. Must date to before 1935! Some tears at folds, but otherwise great. $45.
SOLD!
Nice plan for this pre-WWI HAPAG liner. This appears to be a first and second class plan, but a notation says "Mediterranean express line winter service. All accommodation reserved for first cabin. No second cabin." Measures 19" x 11" and is in very good condition. She later became the Empress of Scotland for Canadian Pacific. $85.
Superb photo of the Captain of the Cap Norte and a guest while giving a tour of the bridge in 1932. Great detail can be seen of the engine telegraph they are standing next to. Also included is a photo of the Cap Norte. Both photos measure about 7" x 5". $25.
Very crisp and clear stereoview of the Deutschland's boat deck, most likely showing the royal party. Dated 1902. Mint condition. $25.
Super "scary wave" card. $10.
Built in 1926, the Hamburg and her sisters provided service between Germany and the US between the wars until the advent of Bremen and Europa. Mined and sunk in 1945, she was raised by the Soviets in 1950 and "restored." Like all the German ships captured by the Russians after the war, she was put to dubious uses.
Stein is in excellent condition and stands 2" tall. $25.
Exquisite hard-cover brochure in German. In the front, there is a beautiful gossamer-like patterned tissue between the photo on the frontispiece and the title page. Many tipped-in photos showing the suites, the Ritz Carlton, the smoking room, the lounge, the swimming pool and the Turkish Bath, the galleys, shipping the rudder, among many, many others. In short, one of the very best you will see for a ship we see very little for. 54 pages. Two slight scratches to the cover otherwise mint. $395.
Extensive information about the company and its services, including a 1914 sailing schedule from January to November. Information about the Imperator and the soon-to-enter Vaterland and mentions that a third sister ship of similar dimensions will follow soon. Great cover art with Imperator still sporting her eagle. Dated January 19, 1914. Minimum first-class rates to London were $145. Near mint. $48.
14915 Vaterland Post Card
Unusual post card showing the Imperator standing in for the Vaterland. Note the bridge front. Very good condition with one bent corner and some marks on the back where this had been attached to an album. $10.
Very rare sailing and first-class rates brochure in English. Advertising their regular Mediterranean service and a special one-time sailing of the Deutschland to Italy.

Has been folded. Some discoloration. $38.
Made by Fürstenberg in Germany, this exquisite fine bone-china cup and saucer date to the time of the Bremen (ex-Pasteur). Although not the shape of a typical demi tasse, it holds the same amount of liquid. Absolutely mint, just like it came out of the wrapping. You can't ask for better condition than this! A pair available @ $75 ea.
Early souvenir lapel pin measuring about 1" in diameter. A couple of very slight cracks to the finish. More than likely dates to the pre-WWI period. $60.
Very early lapel pin made by Whitehead and Hoag and dates to the turn of the last century. These were sold to visitors when they boarded the liners, and the money was given to charities. About ¾" in diameter. Excellent condition. $50.
Judging by the logo, I have a sneaking suspicion this dates to the 1960's, may be from the Bremen. 6" from handle to handle and stands 2" tall. In very good condition with no loss of plate. Made by Gebrüder Hepp who also made large amounts of silver service for Hitler. $35.
Huge serving piece as made for the Imperator class when she entered service. Dated 1914 on the bottom with an unusual HAPAG logo (H.A.L) engraved on the front. Measures 10½" from handle to handle and stand about 3" tall. Some loss of silver from inside the bowl from use and a few dings on the outside otherwise in very good condition. $175.
22654 H.A.P.A.G. Silver, Sauce Boat
Lovely silver sauce boat identical to what was used on board Imperator. Measures 6” from handle to spout and 4” from foot to top of handle. Nice clear logo, dated 1910. Very good condition with some use marks and small dings. $115.
Large oval tray from HAPAG's pre-war table service. Measures 9" x 6½". Made by the Austrian firm of Art. Krupp and dated 1910 as so much of HAPAG's silver seems to be. Extremely heavy and well made. Very good condition with the typical use marks. Just think of all the fancy meals served from this tray. $95.
22043 H.A.P.A.G. Silver, Tea Pot
