Australian made fishing reel. A must for the reel collector. Fair condition

Automorse Key, circa 1920.


Australia is known for its unusual animals and odd telegraph "jiggers." This is a scarce, vintage three-lever bug from the land down under, made by Hitchcox Bros. for K.P. Thomas of Adelaide. The upper levers operate similar to a Vibroplex two-lever (automatic dots and manual dashes); I think the third (lower) lever is intended to give automatic dashes.

Found on a self of a small Country Victoria Museum, K.P. Thomas of Adelaide SA. Automorse key made by Hitchcox Bros Pat No. 7025 . 14.

This is the first one I have ever had in our hands and I think that maybe one of the weights from the rear could be missing but the rest appears to be all there. I have included some web links of another one currently in a collection and a link that shows a copy of the original advertisement.

Australian Army Helmet


1940 MKII with dent from being hit by a bullet on one side.

The soilder wearing this helmet must have felt extra lucky, the dent from the bullet has pushed the helmet in about 1/2 inch.

Original paint with minor rust, complete with chin strap, liner (a little stiff) and pad. Very nice all original item that has not been altered since WWII.
