Description:
Don Bradman - antique telephone from H.W.Hodgetts Stockbroking Firm: Intercom phone with names of stockbroking staff including 'Mr.Bradman' & 'Mr.Hodgetts'. (in February 1934, Harry Hodgetts, a South Australian delegate to the board of control, offered Bradman work as a stockbroker if he would relocate to Adelaide and Captain South Australia. Unknown to the public, the SA cricket Association instigated Hodgetts' approach and subsidised Bradman's wage. In 1945 Hodgetts & Co went under with debts of more than Pds120,000. 48 hours later Don Bradman & Co started trading from Hodgetts' fully-furnished offices)
