All items are from the year 1913 and were given to me by my uncle...
My uncle's mother came to the US from Finland prior to 1913. They left my uncle behind and returned in June of 1913 on the Mauretania to get him. I have from that ship 9 menus, a 2nd class passenger handbook that includes passenger list among it's 12 pages along with a colored map of ship lanes. Also included is paper note pad with 4 pages, a sketch of Mauretania on front, the 1st page as a red seal of Mauretania, 3 baggage tickets along with a Silver loving Cup about 3 inches high with a sepia picture of the Mauretania on the side. This silver cup has silver markings and has never been cleaned.
The family returned on the Lusitania in August 1913. I have from that ship 5 menus, spoon with marking "silver plated" on back, and when the family reached Ellis Island, my uncle fell, got all wet and he told me the Captain took one of the deck chair robes and wrapped him up, so I have that robe.
All together I have over 20 items from these two ships.......
thanks so much

Cunard of course probably are 'technically' the owners of some of the items!
Even if it is just to learn themselves which ships they owned in the past!
