Description:
Cricket belt and buckle, the buckle (42 x 40 mm) featuring a cricket bat and ball, with an anchor, rope, sword and laurel wreath over a banner 'Sport and Play'. Attached to a contemporary 'Stretching' wire-and-cord seaman's belt with all requisites, the overall length is 75 cm. Apart from a few breaks in the wire, the overall condition is excellent. Reputedly salvaged from the wreck of the 'Dunbar', which went down with the loss of 121 lives (one man survived) near the entrance to Sydney Harbour in August 1857, whether this can be sustained is immaterial, as the item itself is now a rare survivor
