TUBE, GLASS - BLUE

« Prev Item Next Item »

c. 1974

Overview

Blue eight sided small glass tube. The top of the tube has grooves to indicate screw top and at the base of the tube. The glass is chipped away and forms a point. Bottom is tapered to a rounded point.

Historical information

The school was scheduled to be demolished in 1987 to make way for the Armadale Shopping City expansion. The community rallied to save the building by transporting it down the road to its new location. The old Congregational Church was rebuilt just before the school was moved and sits adjacent to the school.

Collected from under the old location of Armadale Primary School before it was moved to its current location in Minnawarra historic Precinct.

The tube would likely have been used for science lessons.
