OT: RMS Lusitania celluloid pinback

I thought that some of you might be interested in seeing this. It is a 7/8" celluloid pinback from c. 1915 or before that shown the Cunard liner Lusitania. There was also a matching button showing the Mauritania, so I think is is safe to assume that these were made before the Lusitania sunk in May 1915.

Interesting how the artist made the prow of the ship look like those from turn-of-the-century warships.

Yes, and of course the real Lusitania, like all Cunard ships had funnels that looked like this:



The button shows the ship with blue funnels!
