Equipment - Object, Lavender braille writer, 1962-1982
Designed by Raymond Lavender, American Printing House for the Blind, it was produced between 1962-1982. A modernized Braille writer, the Lavender allowed the paper to exit through the cover in a way similar to a typewriter. The keys are rectangular and the design is compact with no protruding parts. The cover, which is an integral part of the design, snaps on the case. The case and cover are made of Cycolac, a high impact resistant plastic. After the writer was in use for some time, it was discovered that the plastic material tended to warp and production was discontinued.

Accessory - Cufflinks (8), Stratnoid, 1860-1920
This is a mid-20th century retail display board for Stratnoid brand cuff links, likely used in a menswear store or drapery shop. Stratnoid was a British manufacturer known for producing men's accessories such as cuff links, collar studs, and tie pins. The board served both a promotional and practical purpose—allowing customers to view and select products directly. Such displays were common in Australian rural stores, and this example may have been used in Natimuk or the Wimmera region in a general store, tailoring business, or outfitters.A rectangular display board featuring a collection of Stratnoid cuff links, mounted in neat rows against a black velvet-covered backing. Each pair is secured in place by metal clips. The cuff links are circular in shape, with a smooth, slightly domed surface, appearing to be made of mother-of-pearl or a pearlescent plastic material. A variety of sizes are present on the board, suggesting a sample or sales display set. At the centre is a small metallic label reading: “STRATNOID – MADE IN ENGLAND” The cuff links are evenly spaced, and many slots are unfilled, possibly indicating missing or removed items. 8 cufflinks in black velvet rackCentral label: “STRATNOID – MADE IN ENGLAND 383"natimuk, stratnoid, costume accessory, cufflink, suit, clothing, fashion
