The sifter was used to sprinkle sugar over food like fruit, puddings or cakes.
This sifter was donated by Geoff Lord who was the President of the Busselton Historical Society in 1975 and instrumental in establishing the Museum in the Old Butter Factory.
The Lord family arrived in the Busselton area in 1922 as one of the original Group settlement families at Chapman Hill/ Walsall. The Group Settlement scheme was a Western Australian/ United Kingdom government migration scheme introduced in 1921, to provide a labour force to develop agricultural land in the South West region of Western Australia, reduce unemployment in the United Kingdom and reduce dependence on food imports from interstate. Members of the Lord family have been active community members in the Busselton region since they arrived in 1922.
