George Cumming was given this vest by his brother, Eric Cumming (also known as Hamish Cumming). George was a shearer and did well on the competitive shearing circuit, especially during the early to mid 1950’s. George shore on properties with teams in Victoria, South Australia, New South Wales and Tasmania. He won the Victorian Shearing Championships, and came second in the Australian Championships in 1956. Later, George became a shearing judge and judged at many shows including the Royal Melbourne Show and The Golden Shears in Euroa and New Zealand. Eric was a professional runner and in the early 1950’s was running overseas. While in Scotland for the Powderhall Gift in 1952, he brought the vest for his brother George. Eric won the Powderhall Gift in 1952, becoming the first overseas athlete to win the prestigious event, and the first and only Australian to ever win. The vest is an all wool garment in natural colours, made in Fair Isle, Shetland, Scotland. Although still in very good condition, it got quite a lot of use, with George’s wife Lyn making repairs to the neck band with 8ply Totem and 5ply Blue Bell crepe wool.Knitted sleeveless vest featuring geometric patterns in tones of cream, brown, grey and orange.eric cumming, george cumming, fair isle vest, shetland, scotland, powderhall gift, running, shearing, royal melbourne show, sheep industry, knitwear, vest, wool

The Marshwood Challenge Trophy was first awarded in 1974. This valuable trophy was donated by Major Maurice Charles Cox and his wife Betty, who were devoted to the Shetland Pony. Why is it called Marshwood? The Coxes both worked to maintain high standards of the Shetland breed. They did this in Great Britain by starting The Marshwood Stud in 1922. They also both took on the role of president of the Shetland Pony Major Stud Book Society and started a scheme to use only the best stallions for breeding. Major Cox and Australia The Coxes promoted the Shetland pony elsewhere too. Major Cox judged Shetland ponies at shows in Australia, Sweden and France. He probably last judged in Australia at the Sydney Easter Show in 1981. By this time Major Cox must have been in his late 70s as he was a reserve cavalry man in 1918. The silver-footed salver trophy was made in Scotland in 1916. It is possible that Major Cox brought it with him to Australia when he was judging Shetland ponies at the Royal Melbourne Show in the 1970s. The Marshwood Challenge Cup was awarded for the best Shetland pony at the show. Major Cox drew on his experiences examining Shetlands all around the world when he wrote The Shetland Pony (first published in 1965). (Mandy Bede)Silver tray on four feet.

Shawl of Jane Francis (nee Piper) 1809-1891 This fine woven silk and woollen shawl is from Shetland, Scotland and belonged orginally to Jane Francis. Jane was born in Devon near the village of Bradworthy. She married Joseph Francis (1803-1878) in 1830 in the Bradworthy Parish, Devon, England and wore the shawl over her wedding dress on her wedding day. Jane and Joseph came to Geelong in 1853 with their family. Jane’s sister and brother were in Geelong and their eldest daughter Elizabeth had arrived in 1849. They arrived on the ship 'Euphemus' at Point Henry, Geelong, on July 20, 1853 and travelled across the bay in the steamer Duncan Hoyle. Jane was wearing the shawl on her arrival in Geelong. They went to live in Sharp Street Chilwell in a house owned by their son in law, John Price, which they later purchased. Jane became well known as a ‘midwife’ having had 10 children of her own. She is known to have delivered twin girls in Fyans Street; Ada and Myrtle Downie in 1884. Jane’s youngest son William (1848-1932) was a spinning master, timekeeper and pay clerk at the Victorian Woollen Mill (later the Godfrey Hirst Excelsior Number Two mill) and together with William Cook owned a wool scour on the Barwon River at Marnockvale. William’s grandson Arthur (1917-1992) was a wool classer undertaking his course at the Gordon Institute and became a wool valuer at Strachan & Co. For a time he taught part time in the Gordon course. Arthur’s son Robert was also a wool classer and worked at the Australian Wool Testing Authority. The shawl was used as a bed spread at 'Woodstock' by Jane's son William and then by his two children Laura and Eve. After their deaths, Eve in 1947 and Laura in 1963, the shawl was passed to their youngest sister Ethel (Effie) Frier (nee Francis). She had no children and it was passed on to grandniece Pat Norman (nee Hughan). Pat then passed the shawl to cousin Carollyn Williams (nee Francis) who donated the shawl to the National Wool Museum. - Donor, 2026 The Francis family were tenant farmers, and the donor speculated that the shawl could potentially have been a wedding gift from the land owners.Wool and silk fringed cream coloured shawl featuring a paisley pattern in tones of maroon, green, blue, brown and cream.shawl, 19th century, fashion, clothing, design, paisley, migration, geelong, point henry
