A Piece of History

 We gave away some excess crockery today, but we did so in an historic box.

My father worked at Harts (38 Clarendon St South Melbourne) for most of his working life and being the resident industrial chemist, was responsible for the development and production of all of their products.  The main products were sheep dip and related sheep farming chemicals.  The old factory is long gone.

The old site (see red dot in the centre) was just south of Crown Casino and is now surrounded by high rise buildings.  It was interesting to see that a 5 gallon tin of the original Harts Immunol Sheep Dip (empty) is being offered for sale for $600.
