Description
Possibly candidate for DISPOSAL, unless acquistion details can be found
Red gum wood, two-part pencil case or desk tidy. Red colour with highly striped grain. Detachable lid with three sterling silver kangaroos. Maker’s label and complimentary slip inside. Dame Marie Bashir was Governor of New South Wales between March 2001 – October 2014. There is no clue to who the ‘Sir Alec’ is mentioned on the comp slip. Possibly Alec Bedser, as no President called Alec at that time and Alec Douglas Hume was much earlier.
