HILLERSTRÖM-REDERIERNA.

The blue flag with a central white “H” originally belonged to Corfitzon’s Helsingborg company, hence the letter. Lloyds also gives it to Luggude; Reed lists it under Corfitzon. It later became widely recognised as the Hillerström flag.

H247 represents the earlier funnel, black or dark blue with a white “H”, used until around the Second World War.

H117 is shown for both managed companies and for Carl Otto and Folke; Collectors Corner assigns it to Rederi A/B Helsingborg. Jordan describes a plain funnel with the flag but supplies no detail.

H316 appears on Collectors Corner cap badges and in Phil Nelson’s FOTW illustration from Stewart 1963, under Otto Hillerström. Rosanoski says that the later separate Folke and Carl Otto businesses apparently both used this flag.

Rosanoski thinks Bryggan’s H466 emblem probably derives from a starboard view. Delos photographs from 1952–71 show a yellow funnel with a narrow top that looks black but is probably red. The blue flag slopes diagonally, with no clear pole; H467 is considered a more likely portside interpretation, but the displayed flag remains assumed. Rhodos and Milos seem to have white funnel bases and narrow red tops, though their sides are hidden; Andros and Lemos confirm yellow with narrow red tops.

H650 is based on the Eros model at the RÅÅ Museum för fisk och sjöfart.
