Re: Early Australian Silversmiths
An unusual order was received last week from Australia by B. T. Oakley, of the export department of the International Silver Co., 9-15 Maiden Lane. Upon opening his mail one morning last week, Mr. Oakley came upon an order for a quantity of miniature kangeroos, which are to be made of sterling silver. This order came from an Australian customer and the silver kangeroos are to be given away by the latter as paper-weights. A sculptor is now engaged in making a model and the work will be executed by the Wilcox & Evertsen factory at Meriden, Conn.

T.C. WOLLASTON
Adelaide
LONDON
The first gem theft since the Wembley exhibition opened in April was accomplished this week, when a $6,000 pearl was taken from the showcase of the mining section of the Australian pavilion under the eyes of several bystanders who thought the thief was an exhibition official. Three men are believed to have been concerned in the robbery. Two engaged an assistant—the daughter of T. C. Wollaston, an Adelaide jeweler—to show them some jewelry. While Miss Wollaston was occupied with the two visitors, a third man calmly lifted the top of a show-case, extracted the pearl and walked slowly away. Bystanders supposed he was an official of the pavilion and gave no alarm. The other two men then left without making a purchase.
