The Broken Hill / Freemasons Company / Limited. / Niehuus & Lucy 13 Arcade Adelaide. (New South Wales). Signs. Brass. Engraved Brass Sign. 455 x 330 mm. 1910s
Excellent. (N/A). Spotty discolouration.Dark patch to lower right is hard crud on the surface, this will likely clean off. I think the black highlight is original and pretty decent overall with just relatively minor flaking. Some fine scratches and minor marks. The engraver from Adelaide dissolved this partnership in 1917, so this predates then. The earliest mention I can find is 1909. The Broken Hill Freemasons Company was formed around 1898 and was still operating in the 1950s. This fantastic sign is definitely from the 1910s era and was likely the only made one, this is a unique piece and a once in a lifetime opportunity for any Broken Hill collectors. Estimate: $200-300
