Insignia from Rennies Shipping Line

I have just acquired some buttons and shoulder boards worn by John Kode, who was an engineer on various Rennies Shipping Line ships. I am posting pictures in case anyone has any of the items sitting in their "yet to be identified "box

Hello,
many thanks for this useful info ; as complement, find hereby a pic of an original cap badge of this company : JT Rennie & Sons - Aberdeen Direct Line - Aberdeen Line to Natal A+ |
That is a great badge. Clearly seen lots of sea time, which adds to the interest. Its a pity there is not more information available of these old shipping lines
Regards Mike |
There is a fairly new book out called 'Heraldry of the Seas (or oceans...can't remember exactly)'. Not definitive but very useful, has a couple of hundred pics of merchant navy shipping line cap badges and uniforms. At work so can't access my copy to confirm right now.
Cheers, Alex |
Quite unusual shoulder straps there, must be for a junior engineer or 5th engineer I would think.
