Description
Nice Souvenir pin from the babrbershop/giftshhop of a White Star Line Ship. See last photo for a photo of the barbershop on Olympic. Mother of pearl with the metal bits mounted on top. The red line you see on the back is natural. Mother of pearl pins are known to sometimes have this. Look at some shells by the sea and you will see this often.The HMS designation means this pin was from Olympics war time service and probably bought from one of the troops that were carried across the sea on this great ship.
RMS Olympic was a British ocean liner, the lead ship of the White Star Line's trio of Olympic-class liners. Unlike the other ships in the class, Olympic had a long career spanning 24 years from 1911 to 1935. This included service as a troopship during the First World War, which gained her the nickname "Old Reliable".
