Australian Brass Numerals 1912 - 1918
Hi,
Here are some of my brass numerals, which are made by Stokes. All are approximately between 19mm - 20mm in height. I was just wondering if anyone else on the forum collects these brass numerals and would like to show some pictures of what they have. Whether you have 1 or more then 10 numerals to show, please put them up, so we can all appreciate looking at them. Cheers, Invest Last edited by Investment; 17-03-15 at 05:49 AM. |

Hi Jim,
I've asked a friend to see if he might be able to identify your numeral and find out from what period it originates. My friends reply below. "Looks to be a good quality, die cast numeral. Military or Police (more likely Police). I couldn't see the lugs properly so I'm not sure if it is from a commonwealth country. As to age, if it was British Commonwealth, definitely post 1881, but other than that - anyone’s guess." Cheers, Invest Last edited by Investment; 09-04-15 at 04:46 AM. |

Hi,
Here are a few more of my brass numerals, which have no manufacturers name. All are approximately between 19mm - 20mm in height. It would be great to see some pictures of other brass numerals, if forum members would like to share them. Cheers, Invest Last edited by Investment; 13-04-15 at 05:44 AM. |

Very nice to see. If you ever find a spare 32 I will pay top dollar: I have a picture of my father wearing it in his champion drill team in 1918. Never seen the numeral, worn in Sydney's inner west.

Hello Kingsley,
I'll continue to keep a lookout for numeral 32 for you, unfortunately I don't have a spare at the present moment. However, I fully understand how important it is to have a memento of what your father wore. I myself am always on the lookout for numeral 72, as my grandfather wore one while a Senior Cadet with the Western Districts Regiment in country Victoria. The numerals I have posted up on the forum are from my core collection. I do have spares of some other numerals, and I'm always happy to discuss this with other like minded collectors via PM's. Cheers, Jason |

Hello BC,
Many thanks for posting some of your numeral collection for us to look at. I also appreciate seeing the Officers collar for the 55th "Collingwood" Infantry, very nice. Cheers, Jason |

thanks Jason
hat and collar badges are my main interest and never really took much interest in the numerals until recently. I have the hat badge also for the 55 Collingwood and 2 left collars. so if anyone has a spare right officers collar im interested. btw im sorry the pics are on there sides. I loaded them from a ipad and it didn't mater how I tried, they wouldn't remain upright??? cheers bc |
