We had intended years ago to sell them but because he'd been very unwell on and off it just never got done. The bottles have been outside in the weather. There are alot of different types, there was a torpedo bottle but I think that's gone walk about, and lots of soda bottles etc., some are in better condition than others.
If there are any collectors in Melbourne interested at some time in having a look with view to purchase please leave details. |

Hi, I was hoping you could help me. I am an archaeology student at Sydney University. For class we analysed a collection excavated from a well on a private property in Balmain, Sydney. I am very curious about tracking the origion of one of the partial bottle fragments to help put a date on the collection. It is an oval clear fluted bottle with 'This bottle belongs the Rosella pre & manf coy ltd regs 2970' on the side. The bottom has what looks like a square with outward tapering legs. The inside of the square appears to have a d inside it. There is an m then an s below this and T 145 below. Thank you for your time, Posted by Geoff for Karin

| Q. Hi folks I’m hoping you can help me. My father passed away late last year and has left us his huge collection of hand tools, collected over his lifetime. Many of the tools are vintage and original, some have been reconditioned. Just as an example there are over 100 claw hammers, literally 100’s of wood chisels, saws, pliers, etc etc - carpentry tools, plumbing tools, metalworking tools – you name it. Can you suggest someone who would be interested in looking at the collection with a view to buying it as single lot, or put me in touch with some collectors. The collection is located near Gosford on the Central Coast, NSW. Thanks in anticipation, Kind regards Steve Cook = sdcook@optusnet.com.au |

Hi, I would appreciate any help in identifying and valuing a dessert service containing 12 x 24cm diameter handpainted plates with artists initials (LB, sometimes looks like CB) on the front and title on the back on Wedgwood blanks, plus an accompanying 2 x dessert platters 23cm diameter x 14.5cm high (deep plate on a raised pedestal) and 2 x shorter dessert platters 22.5cm diameter x 7cm high). Each painting is a postcard sized landscape, mostly from around Sydney, 2 from Tasmania and accentuated by a floral (Australian) botanical specimen around ?half of the outer edge. C1885-87. I'll upload photographs as well.
Does anyone have any clues as to who the artist might be? Or what this dessert service may be worth?

| [decaysvegan 18/04/2011] |
| A. I definitely have some assorted bits of 1950s lino, what size pieces are you after? I had these lino remnants for some art projects and these are the leftover remnants. The chunks of vintage lino are not particularly convenient to post, the aged stuff cracks if you try and roll it? I'm in Brisbane if that's any help, please email chris@brisbanemodern.com.au or phone 07 3395 4571 if you want to discuss it. Cheers. Chris |

| Q. In the shed we found Dad's softdrink brewing machines. He bought them from a pub in Glen Innis 50 odd years ago and they were old then. He made squash and lemonade in our hotel. There are 4 seperate very large pieces all made by Mauri Bros & Thomson (Sydney) around 1920 we reckon. All bits are copper/brass and hand forged steel. Pipes and hoses have been cut. Machinery is well oiled and moves freely. Anyway....is it worth anything to any of your members or can you suggest what we should do with it please. I believe the things are far too valuable to sell as scrap metal. Thanks for your time. Warm regards. Rob |

Thanks Lyn |

| A. Hi Lyn,
I collect wall vases and they look best on walls. You just buy picture hooks and hammer them in...no drilling required. If you want to move them a dab of filler in the hole and a bit of paint and your wall is new again. Be brave and once you start you will not want to stop. |

| A. Sorry, can't say that I've noticed any B's on any of my pieces, and since Bagley didn't mark any of their work, the B would not signify Bagley. I'd be more inclined to be thinking Belgium.

| Q. How strong is your UV lamp that lights up your display? Am getting a new cabinet for my collection. Thanks. Suze. |
| [Suze 28/06/2010] |
| A. Hello Suze, the 2 metre tall shelved display uses two 64cm Black Light Fluro lamps mounted vertically to cover all 6 shelves. The lamps each use a 18W 26mm x 600mm black light fluorescent tube.
I had the lamps made to measure by a guy on ebay with the user ID - rowdy135. If you are interested, you could try contacting him to ask if he still makes these lamps. He's a nice guy, and his products are priced fairly.

| Q. Hi collectors. I have a photo and postcard record of someone's great holiday ... sailing out from Fremantle WA in June 1950. There are 80 magnificent original postcards gathered during this journey, mounted with their own small black & white photographs. The ports along the way included Colombo, Aden, Port Said and Southhampton. They toured London and then many other English locations, plus Scotland, Wales, France, Germany and Switzerland. The postcards are some collector's dream! What would it be worth? Any info or offers to my email: john2sail@gmail.com

| A. Best place to find a value is either ebay or Oztion, both have a good range of pottery and you type in Pates to the search function and see if there is anything similiar to yours. If not this week there will probably be something similiar next, I have seen just about every kind of pottery go through these 2 sites. Good Luck. |

how long were they produced and what is their value to today's collector
cheers
shane |
| [ONCE IN A BLUE MOON 14/01/2010] |
| A. Hi Shane
I am no expert on this, but I think they were popular during a limited period in the first decade of the twentieth century. I remember reading that they eventually got banned by various postal services because the postal workers complained that they were getting cut by the sharp edges.
At that point you start getting a lot of fake aluminium cards. I did at one point start looking at the cultural kudos of aluminium, and found that it was basically seen as a really sexy material during the period (not that the Edwardians would have described it in those terms!) so I think this is why postcard manufacturers were using it. Later, once every possible thing (and particularly cans) had been made of aluminium, people seem to have stopped seeing it as a futuristic material altogether and it just became part of the landscape.
With regard to value, I see the odd one coming on the market in NZ, and they don't seem to make large amounts per se, which suggests that there are not too many fanatical aluminium card collectors. I think the value is likely to lie in the subject matter on the card rather than the card substrate itself. However this, like the rest of this comment, is an opinion and not fact! |

| Q. I have just bought a teapot from an op shop that looks amazing, it's black with Chinese paper lanterns on it hanging from bamboo leaves, it's blue inside and has "Crown Ducal Ware England RdNo706201 and other little squiggles including 8 and what seems to be a signature. I really need someones help because i am new to collection. |
| [SillyTeapot 04/11/2009] |
| A. Crown Ducalware was made byA.G Richardson & Co Ltd, Gordon Pottery, Tunstall, England. If the mark on your teapot has a crown above it... that is 'Crown Ducal Ware England' with a crown above it would be dated c. 1925. Sounds like a lovely piece. I am not familiar with Crown Ducal prices but I would take a rough guess at $100 plus. Happy Collecting! |

| Q. Hello tool collectors,
I have a question.
I own a 'Buffalo Forge' blacksmith's post drill. Its the hand crank wall mounted type with the ratchet pawl downfeed mechanism that operates during cranking the drill. It is in very good mechanical condition but somebody has sprayed it in a white paint (probably to protect it from rusting)
My plan is/was to completely renovate it and give it a coat of paint. Will this be a mistake?
I may then mount it in my shed and actually use it, just as I saw a knife maker using his just a few years ago.
I am new to this and don't want to make a blunder. |
| [terrygoss 08/09/2009] |
| A. Hello fellow tool collector, I too have a "Buffalo Forge" wall mounted drill with an automatic feed system. Luckily, mine doesn't have any paint on it - it appears to be polished metal that I keep well oiled. It will rotate for about 20/30 seconds with one crank of the hand wheel. I have aquired a few of the flat sided drill bits for it and it will be a feature of my blacksmith's shop. I have also come across some old advertisements for this exact same drill in some 1911 magazines called the "American Blacksmith" If I can be of any help to you? please communicate through this site. |

| Q. Hi, Just wondering if any one has ever seen or heared of "OUR CHIEF" tobacco???
I have a beautiful showcard from behind a super old religious picture.It has no makers name and no tin on the add,just a block of tobacco with "Our Chief" on a plug.There is a picture of a "Cameron clan Scottsman drawing his sword and an old wizard ,they are on top of a mountain!!
Across the bottom in big letters it say's,"This Tobacco is only manufactured in America".
Would love to hear anything ,as so far even an avid collector in the USA has never seen it!!
It would seem as though this is very rare, we have been collecting for about 20 or so years and it's new to us ,it is also in near perfect condition.
Look forward to any reply,
Cheers Renai |

My grandmother entrusted her collection of plates to me with a request to sell them to "someone who would appreciate them". If anyone's interested, they're all international, limited edition plates that are the first in their series. Alternately, if anyone can suggest a good place to sell seven collector plates... it would be appreciated. If you want to make an offer or want more information on any of the plates (they're listed in my bower) just email me (if you can do that through this website... I know I put my email address down when I registered) or post a reply to this question. Thanks!

The photographs will feature the collector with their collection, in the end I only need one photograph for the project. Hoping to photograph all sorts! If you are interested and live within the Brisbane area please contact me on: photography@leannedixon.com All photos will be given free!

| Q. Can anyone tell me the origin of DOMAY ceramics? |
| [trevordog94 24/04/2009] |
| A. Domay was the name given to a line of slipcast ware designed by Dorothy Hope in the 1950s and mainly sold through David Jones. She employed a small staff to do the casting and fettling but found the administration dull work, so she wrapped up the business in 1962 and left Sydney to set up her Thrumster Village Pottery near Port Macquarie. This is from her biography, Impressions in Clay, published in 1990. |

I have around 40 sets of them, and will keep them for another 10-15 years and use them as traders then. Hope that helps. regards, Mike |

Could this have been done before the Thruster turned up on the scene? Great example of a backyard inovation period surfboard. |
| [Wombat 02/03/2009] |
| A. Yes this was done way before the time of thrusters and even Bonzers which Peter Townend brought to Australia. I seem to remember Patrick or Kevin Parkinson making tri fins in 1970's under the brand cybernaut they were very similar in shape to the modern day thrusters the side fins were more or less semi circular in shape and were smaller than the centre fin which was the conventional shark fin shape these boards were ridden by the Bulli boys and really suited the steep take off at Peggies |
| [A Jay 13/12/2011] |
| A. hey wombat,
I reckon there's a chance this improvisation might have been inspired by the recent, though patchy, arrival of californian bonzers from around 1973. Terry Cooper at South Coast Surfboards was building them at that time although they were a lot more complicated with channels and off set fins...
Geoff Kater of surfresearch would be keen to know about this beast. |

| Q. I have an Australian stamp which I am having trouble finding anything about. It is the old style blue ink and white/paper contrast, it has 11d on it with the d slightly elevated and a full stop under it, there is a pic of a bandicoot on it however it is printed at the bottom 'rabbit' with the word 'bandicoot' under it. I can assume it is from around the 1928 era, as it was in the side of an old sewing maching I bought which was dated 1928. I have tried to take a pic however trying to photograph a stamp in detail is very difficult mostly due to the flash. Can anyone help me with information about this stamp? |

It "speaks",moves and can go dormant and re-activate unexpectedly.
The robot is approximately 12 inches/300 mm tall.

| [zaky 11/12/2008] |
| A. Try typing in australiana or australian wood or just australian I see poker work on eBay all the time Its ALWAYS worth ticking the INCLUDE ITEM DESCRIPTION box, that one takes you to all sorts of wonders |
| [alleyes 31/10/2009] |
| A. You'll find Pokerwork scattered around Ebay. If you use the general term Aboriginal it will throw up ALL the latest listings. Sellers rarely use the word pokerwork in the title or description mainly because they don't realise that is the correct terminology. I used to work in Aboriginal Arts and Crafts for Maruku on Pitjantjatjara lands and have some lovely poker work animals including my fave a Bat.
Start your own Poker work bower and I'm sure other fans will stop by.

| Q. Is Martyn Boyd and Guy Boyd the same person? |
| [geoffisaac30 07/02/2008] |
| A. Martin was Guy's uncle, not his brother. |
| [cerambler 09/09/2008] |
| A. Martin was a writer not a potter. Guy set up the Martin Boyd Pottery in Sydney with partners Norma and Leonard Flegg in 1946. He transferred his interest in the pottery to Leonard’s brother Ronald in 1951 and went back to Melbourne where he ran a new pottery, the Guy Boyd Pottery, from 1952-1964. Meanwhile the Fleggs continued to operate the Martin Boyd Pottery in Sydney until 1963. |
| [cerambler 13/07/2008] |
| A. No They are different people. (brothers) |
