Franconia, R.M.S.

An oddity in that the puzzle is dissimilar to the circular picture on the box. As there is a product number (2161F) and the number of pieces is as in version "C" of Tom Tyler's Franconia entry it is reasonable to say it dates from around 1926.

The picture the same as used for the "Cunard Canadian" liners. presumably because they were outwardly similar.
