Vintage Fiji South Sea Isles-Far East Cruise Tin Case

This item is a vintage rectangular metal storage tin or souvenir case featuring Mid-Century graphic design. The case is constructed from stamped tinplate with rounded corners and a light blue powder-coated or enameled finish. The lid features a multi-colored lithograph illustration of a large white ocean liner, likely the MS Kungsholm based on the silhouette and historical association with the A.S. Line (American Scantic Line or Swedish American Line promotional material). The typography includes bold yellow 'FIJI' text and orange 'SOUTH SEA ISLES-FAR EAST CRUISE' lettering. Below the ship, the slogan 'The Cruise of a Lifetime' is printed along with references to air-conditioning and the A.S. Line. The condition shows moderate age-related wear, including minor scuffing on the top surface, slight discoloration on the lower clasp area, and some visible oxidation on the hinge pin on the top edge. The graphics remain largely vibrant and clear, dating the item to approximately the late 1950s or early 1960s, a period highlighting the glamor of international maritime travel. The craftsmanship reflects mass-produced commercial advertising memorabilia of the mid-20th century.
