Dear can-talkers,

The Lambing Flat Folk Museum in Young has two items that I would like 
to know more about. The items are two large green glass (I think) 
balls, similar to old-style Christmas ornaments but much larger (around 
26cms in diameter). There is no information on them in the museum 
records, although anecdotally it is believed that they were used 
outside a Chinese shop or similar in Young. They can be hung from a 
wire at the top and the glass is a shiny metallic grass green.

We are currently working on an exhibition about the Lambing Flat 
goldfields and would like to use these objects if they are relevant 
although I suspect they are very much more recent. However any info 
would help.

Many thanks,


Linda Raymond
museum consultant & interpretation specialist
