TRANSATLANTIQUE "FRENCH LINE" Shipping Company Bourbon Keyholder "COMPAGNIE GENERALE TRANSATLANTIQUE" A Bourbon keyholder manufactured as an advertising novelty for the French shipping company "TRANSATLANTIQUE". A helmsman steering a rudder is enclosed within the small keyholder. The attention to detail, with front and back sides, is also pleasing. This Bourbon keyholder is a must-have for those who love the sea. "TRANSATLANTIQUE" was founded in 1855. Originally named "FRENCH LINE", it was renamed "TRANSATLANTIQUE" in 1861. The TRANSAT (nickname for Transatlantique) liners were known for their luxury, and the high quality of their meals and wine service attracted wealthy customers, including Americans during the Prohibition era. As this is an old item, there may be minor scratches, cloudiness, and air bubbles. Please consider this before making a purchase.
