This fascinating lot of maritime cap tallies features an original HMS Lusitania tally. The sinking of the Liverpool built Lusitania by German forces during WWI, was the impetus to America's entrance into the World War. A red cloth displaying the Lusitania tally also shows 7 Norddeutscher Lloyd tallies that include Kronprinz Wilhelm, Kaiserin Maria Theresia, Kronprinzessen Cecilie, Kronprinz Wilhelm, Kaiser Wilhelm II, Kaiser Wilhelm de Grosse, and Kronprinz Wilhelm. Also included in this wonderful group are 1 from the French ship DeGrasse, 2 from the French ship Champlain, and 1 from the French ship Liberte. Rounding out this impresive group are 3 tallies from the famous Italian luxury liner Saturnia. CONDITION: all Norddeutchland tallies and the Lusitania tally are sewn to a red silk backing cloth therefore they remain sharp and clear with light wear. The remaining tallies are loose and are slightly faded from use. (02- 24527/BF). $800-1200.
