Lithuanian Steamship Company, Commemorative Badge, Lithuanian SSR, circa 1970s-80s.
Brass, enamels; 22.7 x 19.2 mm. Very high quality and attractive badge in excellent condition. The inscription is in Lithuanian and Russian.
The Lithuanian Steamship Company formed in 1969 and peaked in the 1980s when it ran a fleet of some 40 vessels. In the early 90s, a few successful private fishing and shipping companies branched out of it, while the state enterprise languished and eventually went bankrupt in 2016.
Please note, the penny in our photo is for size reference.
