A pair of quarter-plate daguerreotype portraits (each approximately 100 × 80 mm) of Thomas Radford (1795-1867) and his wife Martha (1796-1867). The Radfords were born in Devon, emigrated to South Australia in October 1838, and lived in the Barossa Valley from the mid-1840s until their death. From the perceived ages of the subjects, these images would appear to date from the 1850s. Other (later) images of the Radfords are held in the State Library of South Australia. They substantiate the identification, and confirm that these daguerreotypes, by an anonymous photographer, are of (rural South) Australian origin, as the Radfords did not leave the colony after they arrived here in 1838

Both images are in excellent condition, with the original brass matts (one a little tarnished), preservers and glass, but uncased as found. Daguerreotypes of Australian origin are rare. More

A gelatin silver photograph (image size 200x150mm in a contemporary frame 295x245mm) of South Australian aviation identity John Hamilton Buckham (died 1989 aged 84). It is a fine head-and-shoulders portrait complete with scarf and flying cap (with goggles); there is a slightly faded inscription in the bottom right-hand corner: 'With my sincerest regards, Buck'. Undated, but most probably mid-1930s. John Buckham joined the RAAF as a mechanic and was offered a pilot's course in the 1920s. He was chief flying instructor with the (Royal) Aero Club of South Australia from 1934 to 1939; he rejoined the RAAF during the second world war, reaching the rank of Wing Commander.

Two early items associated with the Bank of South Australia are offered together. (1) A manuscript personal promissory note (90 x 167 mm) dated Adelaide, 24 October 1840 - 'Three months after date pay to my order Thirty Pounds value received. F.W. Allen. To C.W. Stuart Esqre'. Stuart has written across it 'Accepted Payable at the Bank of South Australia'. It was subsequently stamped by the Bank of South Australia, Adelaide when it was paid on 27 January 1841. The verso is endorsed by F.W. Allen, C. Crispe and 'For the Bank of South Australia Edwd Stephens Manager'. Apart from two vertical creases and a tiny spike hole, it is in fine condition. (2) A printed Bank of South Australia cheque (80 x 180 mm, printed by Batho and Bingley, London) with manuscript insertions - 11 February 1841, from C.W. Stuart to Harry Lechahdee[?] for 3 pounds. A bank stamp on it indicates it was paid out in Adelaide on 15 February 1841. It is endorsed on the verso by Robert Champlay, an indecipherable signature and three small Xs. It is lightly creased, with a tiny spike hole; on the verso, there is a discoloured band denoting the outer surfaces when the item was originally folded; essentially it is in excellent condition. It goes without saying that these are utterly rare ephemeral items, dating from when the colony was barely four years old. However, because of this, we are able to identify most of the signatories, thus giving these trifles much greater weight

Edward Stephens (1811-1861) was appointed cashier and accountant of the South Australian Company in 1836; he arrived in the 'Coromandel' on 17 January 1837 at Holdfast Bay. 'There he set up his office in a tent but at first business was slight. He was induced to sign a letter to..... More
