Offered c1910 ANTIQUE ISTHMIAN STEAMSHIP LINES OFFICERS CAP BADGE. Founded by US Steel in 1910 with 7 ships, SS Bantu, Kentra, Buenaventura, Santa Rosalia, Charleton Hall, Craston Hall and the cargo liner Crofton Hall. I believe the badge with screw post and lock nut to be from the early 1900s, at th founding of the lines and this officer's cap badge may very well have been from one of these ships. It appears to be nickel, slight indentation on the 61, screw post bent on back, lock nut bound. It measures 2 1/2"w x 1 3/4"h. A nice find.

Failure to read full description may result in delays and misunderstandings. Please look elsewhere if you feel shipping charge quoted is too high, I do not set rates and can’t afford to absorb these costs, being a small operation. Charge calculated by packed size, weight and ship to destination from NY.
