12.01.2022 FROM THE DRAWERS AND CUPBOARDS 'THE BEST TINNED COPPER WIRE' HANGING CARD This card was found in a box of old tools from the El Arish home of Don Watt, the cane farming son of our original settlers, George and Amelia Watt. The new house on the cane farm was built in March 1956 when the house building was interrupted by Cyclone Agnes, and quite quickly resumed.... It is interesting that the card was especially made to conveniently hang on the fuse box. A quick search for information only revealed a similar and older looking card for sale in England for 4.95 with a 32.51 estimate for postage! Does anyone have any information or fuse wire stories for us? We think ours probably dates to the early 1970’s. See more
