This week’s Show and Tell is so big it had to be trucked into the studio. It belongs to Noelene and is a memento of when her family ran a local travel agency. As Adrian says, this is a ‘stonker’ - because it’s huge – a 3 metre advertising feature for Qantas in the form of a clock, that originally hung in a Hobart Thomas Cook’s travel agency.
It dates from the late 1960s and we were able to verify this by the type font used for the print. The clock has the name Derby which Adrian figures might be an American company. The big trick with this piece is putting a value on it. Because the 1970s are currently fashionable, it will be appealing. Also it is in perfect working order so Adrian thinks it has to worth around $2000, but really the only way to establish a value would be to put it to auction.
