SPOON
c. 1980The front of the spoon made of silver has two arrow head shapes cut into the spoon shape. The handle is designed at the end with swirls and small bell shape. It has fire and rust stains.
Jan Hinloopen owned the Kelmscott Museum of Western Australian History, locally known as the "Shanty Town Museum" from 1964 to 1988. The private museum had a wide collection of material from the past and created numerous sets/dioramas relating to the past including miners' camps, the old bank, the old shop, a mine and a bushrangers' camp. When his daughter took over, the place was allowed to run into disrepair and was eventually fire bombed, believed to be over a drug debt. It was also lived in by squatters and vandalised. The new owner, Craig Wales, purchased the property in 2013 and found the trivet in an old shed.

This object is part of a collection that is associated with the role tourism has played within the economic development of the City of Armadale. Tourism started in the district with the arrival of the railway line in the 1890s with special trains operated for visitors from Perth to view and collect windflowers in the hills above Kelmscott and Armadale.
