Description:
Cricket Club fobs comprising 1892 South Melbourne Football Club (Cricket Team Premiership), 1911-12 Brunswick C.C., 1924-25 Footcray C.C., 1926-27 and 1927-28 Hawthorn - East Melbourne, some on a silver chain. (5). The 1892 fob is quite significant. The premiership in 1891/2 earned South Melbourne the title of 'Champions of the Colony', thus enabling them to play a match against Lord Sheffield?s touring England side, captained by W. G. Grace. The game, played at South Melbourne on January 9 and 11 1892, was the subject of a painting, the original of which is still held by the South Melbourne Cricket Club. It was during this tour that Lord Sheffield donated the sum of 150 pounds to go towards a Perpetual Shield for Competition between the Colonies-later known as the Sheffield Shield.
