Issued by CGT of the French line company. In the 1920's this company ran the Ile De France, the Paris and of course the famous Normandie. All three ships had superlative art deco designs and luxury throughout their respective ship. The Paris caught fire at dock and was eventually lost and scrapped out. The Ile De France provided Transatlantic crossings up until the war from 1927 to 1939 between Le Havre and New York, and then went into troop and supply service for the next 6 years . During the war the ship was looted and stripped down to practically bare bones while in service. From 1946 to 1949 the ship was refitted after the war and one funnel was removed , ( a dummy funnel ). This medal commemorates the new ship in 1949. In 1956 this ship came to the rescue of the ill fated Italian liner Andrea Doria and saved over 750 people. Mind you this was actually the ships second sea rescue. In 1960 the ship was in the movie the last voyage and was actually partially sunk in the filming ; then finally scrapped. Not many of these medals were made or survived. Designed by Marcel Renard. Perhaps 200 made or less. Despite the 1949 date, the medal still retains a fine compliment of art deco design , in parallel with the ships history. RARE. Price: $275.00 USD

Measures 5 " high by about 5 ' wide. Matching numbers for both pieces. The bottom is skillfully monogrammed in the likes of the Wiener Werkstatte, as it reads " EK " in a polygon box. I have seen similar styles engraved circa 1906 or earlier on the sides. This would make this ensemble circa 1895 - 1920 at latest. I don't handle many mortars but this one caught my attention and seems quite important , in way of style, condition and the monogram marking on the bottom. I've checked online and haven't found any identical matches; and certainly no monograms ! Price: $300.00 USD
