We
are both the oldest surviving members of our families. As life-long
collectors, and inheritors from those who have Gone Before, we must move
on some of our Stuff before that (hopefully far-off) day when it
becomes our children’s responsibility. Happy to combine for cheaper
postage but PLEASE WAIT for combined invoice from me or ask me for one;
postage discounts can only be given on combined purchases paid for on a single invoice.
From a collection of ephemera – either of a dealer or collector, some have prices written in pencil. Many of these items are in VERY poor condition, but many are either quite rare or very interesting, so they may be of interest to someone. Many have local history connections to Australia. Please just read the description carefully, and look at all the photos, so you are sure about the condition of what you are buying. Fragile items will be carefully packaged for posting, and please take care when handling them. Happy to combine.
1938 REAL PHOTO PORTRAIT CARD A S FAREBROTHER SUVA FIJI #20
A S Farebrother & Sons was a trading firm of importers and exporters. Born in Sydney in 1886, Arthur Stanley Farebrother went to Fiji in 1922, where he set up a successful business as an overseas manufacturers’ agent. He was one of Fiji’s foremost campaigners for Fijian rugby, cricket and soccer; a trophy with his name is still competed for annually by this last named sport.
Card covers 17.5 x 11.5 cms, a photo of Arthur at his desk – from the appointments he was obviously a man of some style and substance. Overleaf a second photo of a printed quote from Abraham Lincoln, probably taken from a Memorial card. Inscribed on the front Compliments A S Farebrother Suva, Fiji 1938. Some damage to corners of front cover but photos in very good condition.
My Items
The items I sell are vintage; they are second hand, old, sometimes very
old. I try to describe and photograph my items
honestly and to the best of my ability; however if pristine condition is
very important to you, I feel you should be buying from a regular shop,
where you can inspect the items personally. Please note that all my
items are sold "as is", with no warranty implied, and that the photos
form part of the description, which should be read carefully. IF YOU HAVE A PROBLEM PLEASE CONTACT ME FIRST.
