I have 2 school swimming certificates with the 3rd pattern being printed thereon signed by a General O'Carroll-Scott (Rubber stamp signature) the GOC. The year was 1954. At one time this sign was described as 'a Liger pi55ing up a palm tree'.
I can confirm the accuracy of the last sentence above! Alternatively - an advertisment for Tiger beer.
