COLAC TO BENDIGO 2011-PENLEIGH BOYD 1890-1923 ATHENAEUM HALL 1922









I would like to thank Library managers and staff who made their Libraries available for Lester's Antique Roadshow, evaluating Antiques and Collectibles for Library patrons.

From Colac through to Bendigo, there were some impressive Library venues for local Library patrons to have their Antiques and Collectibles evaluated.

Lester's traveling Antique Roadshow evaluation tour started on the 18th February in Colac and finishing at Bendigo on the 23rd February 2011, and it was to say the least, a super success.

Attendance at Colac and Warrnambool Libraries by Library patrons was impressive.

The same can be said with Portland and Horsham Libraries, Lester also evaluated Antiques at Warracknabeal - St Arnaud - Maryborough and Bendigo Libraries.

The Library patrons turned up some very interesting Antiques and Art which was valued by Lester Devere, like this unsigned Penleigh Boyd most likely exhibited on the 14th-25th August 1922 Athenaeum Hall, Collins St Melbourne - Number 6 in the 1922 Exhibition Catalogue Sirius Cove 40 Guineas.

There were many interesting Antiques and Collectibles that people wanted evaluations on, like tin toys, paintings, china, sterling silver, Jewellery and many other items.
