◄═ Goodness gracious ~ just
how many packets of these
matchbooks did I see over
the years? Hundreds
probably; with thousands of
matches struck. This one
was bought on-line.
How ironic! |

Two NZSCo. bookmarks

also purchased from an
internet seller. The one on
the far right depicts our
Rangitiki. |

This postcard, dated 25th March 1901 is a request from Greece
for information on NZSCo. "steamers."
It has been stamped "Received/Answered 1 APR 1901" although I'm not sure
that there is a return address on the card |

A "Prefatory Note" states:
The New Zealand Shipping Company's
Pocket-Book is not intended to replace the detailed Handbook of
Information, but the Company hope that the Pocket-Book will be
read with interest by Passengers to the Dominion of New Zealand, and
retained as a Souvenir of a pleasant voyage by those who travel on
the Company's Steamers. |
|
This Company's Pocket Book is dated 1908,
and was produced for the benefit of Passengers. It is all of 160
pages
in length, and full of information regarding New Zealand, with a
brief history of the Company. |

1951 Fares and Sailing List
(click on the image for a legible view) |
This publication is an eight sided
four-fold leaflet. My splicing skills are not sufficient to
bring the two halves of the fully opened document together. I
will work on this.
Such lists are an invaluable source of information for filling in
the gaps when piecing together the voyages of the Rangitiki,
a page of which will shortly be published here. I'm always on
the lookout for them. |

Some Hardware |
 |
A NZSC marked sugar bowl and cream
pitcher
Possibly used on deck or in the lounges ~ maybe even in the dining rooms.
But NOT Gift Shop stuff.

A Promotional Piece from 1961
This little six-inch (6") plastic ruler has a paper front
announcing the names of the Company's England to New Zealand fleet, and
their ports of call.
The back has the light shifting feature
that shows inches and the months of July through December from one
direction and centimeters and the months January through June from the
other. |
