In response to being asked to contribute to ICON Digest, I am posting a photo of 2 small - U 1101 - Bells I found while scuba diving at an old wharf site in Sydney Harbour, Australia. I was after old bottles and in the course of my scavenging, found these delightful little Bells amongst the other rubbish. I had already found a large 'U 1502' (4 1/4" X 5 1/4") similar to this one in the pic, out on one of the Goldfields in NSW, and it is here to show the relative size of the 'U 1101's (2" X 2 1/4"). These were the start of my collection which developed into a serious dose of 'INSULITIS' once I returned to New Zealand 20 years ago. |
