Canadian Pacific

SOLD!

32477    Allan Line                              China, Cup & Saucer

In 1917, the famous Allan Line was absorbed into Canadian Pacific, and that's why I've listed it here.  The Allan Line was  famous for introducing the first turbine steamship on the Atlantic, the Virginian of Titanic fame.

Extremely hard-to-find cup and saucer for the Allan Line.  Circa 1910.  Where else are you going to find china for a small company that didn't even make it past World War I?  Cup and saucer are in very good condition with some crazing and some slight staining to the cup with a touch of gold loss.  Great logo!!  $225.

13373    Empress of Britain                Post Card

Excellent portrait card of this largest Canadian liner ever.  Unused and in mint condition.  $15.

13410   Empress of Britain                Post Card

Stunning privately printed post card of the Empress at Southampton.  Oddly the back of the postcard has the ship listed as Aquitania.  Excellent condition, unused.  $22.

14390   Empress of Britain                Post Card

Lovely Hoffman card of her first-class entrance hall.   Unused and in mint condition.  $12.

 

32751   Empress of Canada                Souvenir Ashtray

After World War II, Canadian Pacific' fleet was devastated.  One of their only remaining ships was the Duchess of Richmond.  Needing to restart their service, the Japan route was canceled, concentrating the three remaining ships on the Atlantic.  After being refitted, she was renamed Empress of Canada and came back into service in 1947.  She sadly only lasts a few years before burning in Liverpool in 1953.

This ashtray is in excellent condition with no loss of silver or damage to the enamel.  $35.

23006   Empress of England                Deck Plan

Very early tissue plan (on air-mail grade watermarked tissue), dated October, 1957.  She later became the Pacific Empress for Shaw Savill and only lasted in that service for five years.  She was scrapped at only 18 years old in 1975.  Measures 30" x 26"  Very good condition.  $28.

32518   Empress of France                  Souvenir Ashtray

A beloved and long-lived Canadian Pacific liner, the Empress of France started her career as the Duchess of Bedford.  After the war, she came back into service in 1948 and took Princess Elizabeth to North America for a goodwill tour.

Very good condition with no loss of silver or enamel.  $35.

SOLD!

18964    Empress of Ireland               China

An outstanding example of her china that we rarely see.  An egg cup.  Standing 2" tall and 2" wide, the cup is cracked on the front (as can be seen in the photo), but a piece of such rarity, does it really matter?  A touch of crazing.  Happily free of the typical staining one sees on most recovered china.  $395.

18993    Empress of Ireland               China

A dinner plate, first class, measuring 9½" in diameter.  We know that Mintons dated their china by impressing a numeral into the underside of most pieces, but like other companies, not every piece has a date mark.  This plate has a "6" in a circle, which dates it to 1906, the time of her maiden voyage.  Very good condition with crazing as can be seen in the photos and the typical staining from decades under the St. Lawrence. Full Minton logo on the bottom.  $495.

18589    Empress of Ireland               China

Extremely delicate fine bone-china demi-tasse cup by Mintons.  Hold it to the light.  If the piece is translucent, it's bone china.  If you can read through it, wow!  The Canadian Pacific belted logo was apparently applied above the glaze and only its ghost remains.  You can see it when you tip it to the light.  Very good condition with crazing as can be seen in the photos and the typical staining from decades under the St. Lawrence.  Full Minton logo on the bottom.  $225.

SOLD!

18941    Empress of Ireland               China

Third-class soup plate, measuring 8" in diameter.  Has a crack at the 8 o'clock position and some other issues as can be seen in the photos.  Perhaps the third-class dining room was harder to reach for divers.  Whatever the reason, we see very little third-class china from the Empress of Ireland.  Full Minton logo on the bottom.  $250.

SOLD!

18607    Empress of Ireland               Glassware

Crystal dish measuring about 5" in diameter and standing over an inch deep.  Some hazing, no chips, cracks, etc.  Was apparently "home" to some sea creature which left its spiral mark on the base.  $150.

SOLD!

18654    Empress of Ireland               Silver

Small coffee pot that stands 6" tall and from handle to spout is 7" wide.  Made by Mappin and Webb and fully marked with the Canadian Pacific logo.  Finial is slightly bent.  $475.

18500    Empress of Ireland               Silver

Elegant little creamer salvaged from the wreck in the 1980's.  Stands 3½"tall and measures 5" from handle to spout.  in very good condition considering its time under the sea!  $350.

18911    Empress of Ireland               Silver

Scallop-shaped silver bowl.  Apparently these were found nested on the bottom, and this one has a lot of the silver remaining.  Bottom marked Mappin and Webb and has the Canadian Pacific logo on the side.  $295.

SOLD!

32899    Empress of Scotland               Souvenir

A souvenir from the third of the pre-war trio to survive World War II.  She had been the fastest ship on the far-east run, setting the record from British Columbia to Japan in just under eight days.  She was renamed Empress of Scotland in 1942 (right in the heat of World War II) because prior to that, she was the Empress of Japan.  By 1957, when she was sold and became the Hanseatic, she was the last surviving three stacker aside from Cunard's Queen Mary.

Beautiful souvenir with a glass-covered portrait of the ship.  Some slight pitting to the chrome.  $45.

32010   Canadian Pacific                       Brochure

32633   Canadian Pacific                       Brochure

Very rare brochure for the ship that started Canadian Pacific's transatlantic service.  In 1903 Canadian Pacific purchased Elder Dempster's Beaver Line, acquiring several ships in the process, including the Lake Manitoba.  12 pages with 26 photos (almost all of these are the ship).  In less than 25 years, Canadian Pacific went from a 9,000-ton ship to the 45,000-ton Empress of Britain.  The brochure was once folded but doesn't detract because where else will you find something for Canadian Pacific's earliest days of ship service?  $135.

32410   Canadian Pacific                       China, Au Gratin Dish

Designed to withstand the high heat of an oven, these dishes were used for a very specific purpose.  Does anyone know what that might be?  In the "Empress" pattern.  Dates to the 1920's and 1930's and was used on Canadian Pacific's far-east run.  Made by Royal Worcester, this piece measures about 7" x 4".  In near-mint condition.  A pair available.  $95.
