ASHTRAY SOUVENIR FROM THE UNION CASTLE LINE VESSEL THE CAPETOWN CASTLE
Superb small ashtray from the vessel the Capetown Castle which is produced in a beautiful butterfly wing background design and is in an excellent condition.
[Capetown Castle was a British passenger liner built by Harland & Wolff at Belfast for the Union-Castle Line's mail service from Southampton to South Africa. The ship was launched on 23 September 1937 and was a slightly enlarged version of the Stirling Castle and Athlone Castle of 1936. After the outbreak of World War II, in January 1940, the government introduced the Liner Requisition Scheme and Capetown Castle was taken up for conversion into a troop ship.]
