From Wiki: The Kulukundis and Mavroleon families had formed the shipping company London & Overseas Freighters (LOF) in 1948. Eddie Kulukundis entered the shipping industry by working on tramp steamers in the Mediterranean. After the death of his uncle John Kulukundis in September 1978, Kulukundis joined the LOF board. The company suffered mounting losses, and after it had sold all but two of its ships and all shoreside assets, he resigned on 11 December 1985.

He rejoined the board of the much-reduced company in 1988 following the death of company president Manuel Kulukundis, and also the death of his nephew, Minas Kulukundis, in the Lockerbie air disaster while flying to attend the funeral of his uncle and godfather Captain Nicholas Kulukundis.

On 1 November 1997 LOF was sold to Frontline Freighters AB of Sweden and Kulukundis resigned from the board. He continued to hold positions with family company Company Rethymnis and Kulukundis Ltd, which celebrated its 150th anniversary in 1998.

Good condition overall.Davids note:The entire piece(map, wheel,etc) tests sterling silver, not just the plaque in front.
