Product Description
A distinctive Union Steamship Company officer’s cap badge featuring a vivid red enamel house flag with Union Jack and “U.S.S. Co.” lettering, framed by a finely cast gilt metal fern and oak leaf wreath. Measuring approximately 6.5 cm x 5.5 cm, this authentic maritime piece dates to the golden age of steam travel, when steamships connected Australia, New Zealand and the Pacific to the wider world. The bold enamel and detailed metalwork give it strong visual presence, while gentle age wear adds to its genuine period character.
A compelling piece of transport and maritime history, ideal for collectors of nautical memorabilia.
