Dollar Steamship Lines silverware. Robert Dollar (1844-1932) learned the lumber
trade in Michigan and Canada. In 1895 he acquired his first ship, the
Newsboy, to carry lumber from the northwest to ports further south.
He later bought further ships, including some small lines, and his ships were
often seen all over the pacific, and with the purchase of eleven President class
ships from the US government, and other ships and liners, gave him shipping, and
passenger routes worldwide. Two of his most famous liners were the SS President
Coolidge and the SS President Hoover. With the death of dollar, the great
depression, and some failed management decisions the line declined, and was sold
off by 1937. Here are some pieces of silver flatware from the Dollar Line. All
made by International Silver Company, silver plate. All shows some light
scratches from use, some tarnish. A. Soup spoon, 5 1/8 inch. I have one of
