This stencil was used as a wool classification stamp for the transportation of wool bales. Classification stamps like these had to be approved by a Wool Classer and described the quality of wool inside the bale. The top line describes the classed line and breed group – AAA is the main line for any breed group, meaning that the wool is of high quality. FX, MX, SUP and SBK are the breed groups – FX is Fine Crossbreed and MX is Medium Crossbreed, SUP is Superfine Merino and SBK is Comeback.Wool bale export stencil - 56 WOOL AAA FX MX 1st COM WH SUP E CBK56 WOOL AAA FX MX 1st COM WH SUP E CBKwool transportation, wool export, wool class, wool sales

After the 1939 bushfires, the Forests Commission Victoria invested heavily in a radically new communications network. After suffering some inevitable delays due to the war, radio VL3AA switched into full operation in October 1945 proudly beaming out 200 watts across the State. But by today’s standards, the technology was primitive and the reception poor unless the user was on a high point somewhere. The radio signal was "line-of-sight" and bounced between fire towers and relay transmitters across the mountains back to the District offices. The advent of solid-state electronics in the 1960s replaced the more delicate valve sets which enabled greater use of vehicle mounted radios. The Commission continued to research, develop and build new radios at its many workshops around Victoria. The network was supported by a large team of skilled radio technicians. The more secure and versatile State Mobile Radio (SMR) digital trunk system came into operation in about 1995. Upgraded Tait Radios were purchased in 2014 after recommendations of the 2009 Bushfires Royal Commission. But it was the convergence of separate technologies such as 5G mobile phones, high-capacity and light-weight lithium batteries, Wi-Fi, the ever-expanding internet, cloud data storage, digital cameras, GPS, personal organisers and hundreds of supporting Apps into powerful smartphones and tablets which revolutionised bushfire communications from the mid-2000s.

This bottle of finishing ink was manufacturer by Ascot Manufacturing Co., a subsidiary of Melbourne pharmaceutical company Rocke Tompsitt & Co Ltd. Finishing ink was used by cobblers - and in this case, by shoe and boot owners at home - to colour and polish the raw cut edge of leather and to repair worn or damaged edges of shoe soles. It is difficult to determine exactly when this was made or used without more detailed records of Ascot Manufacturing's catalogue, but Rocke Tompsitt ceased independently operating in 1978 and their ownership of Ascot dates back at least to 1945, if not earlier. Rocke Tompsitt was founded in 1908.Finishing ink was historically used in the area for domestic maintenance of shoes and boots. This bottle was made by a defunct company in a style no longer in use.A bottle made of brown glass, with a brown paper label on the front side. The plastic lid is damaged, with only half of the screw cap remaining. Inside the bottle is a dry powder, likely the dried remains of the finishing ink. The label is degraded with block spots and faded text.Front Label: "ASCOT / HOME / REPAIRERS / Finishing / INK / TAN / BRILLIANT / FINISH" Right Label: "ROCKE TOMPSITT & CO.
