Speaker 4: All you know, very well players at the time. Ron
Speaker 4: Todd who was a good player, Albi Panham was there
Speaker 4: from Colling and so forth. So can you believe in
Speaker 4: the nineteen thirties there were in these days. Of course,
Speaker 4: you got all these footballs jumping around of the new
Speaker 4: dance programs and so forth. So people are saying, gee,
Speaker 4: that's a bit novel. No it's not. They were doing
Speaker 4: it back in the thirties.
Speaker 1: They were doing it. But I'm just looking at those names.
Speaker 1: Can you blow that up a little bit for me? Jay?
Speaker 1: The names down there from South Melbournston Kilda. There's one
Speaker 1: there from Williamstown too. I think it was tod Ron Todd.
Speaker 4: Yeah, Dad, Herbie Matthews, I think from South Melbourne. And
Speaker 4: the whole sack of them down the bottom. The last
Speaker 4: one was alb Panham from Collingwood and some of us
Speaker 4: as well. Can you believe they and they would they were.
Speaker 4: All the dance bands are all listed at the top
Speaker 4: as well. But the people who were doing the putting
Speaker 4: on the music, but they were doing it in the thirties,
Speaker 4: so people of today think, oh, it's really unusual. Fancy
Speaker 4: all these football players being doing the dancing grow jos.
Speaker 1: Beck all those years, and I love the way they
Speaker 1: outlined they go. The following players have been nominated to
Speaker 1: represent their clubs.
Speaker 4: It's nominated in.
Speaker 1: Other words, get your ass down there. This is what
Speaker 1: you're doing is represent the club. Get down there now,
Speaker 1: start dancing, baby yep.
Speaker 4: And all of the local bands at the top, the
Speaker 4: names of all the bands that were there, and.
Speaker 1: Just and I don't know what you noticed too, are
Speaker 1: sponsored by a couple of radio stations, three keys Z
Speaker 1: in Melbourne and the greater three u Z yep.
Speaker 4: Noither quit there anymore.
Speaker 1: No, they're not.
Speaker 4: And do you know the only radio station in Melbourne
Speaker 4: that's kept its calls that the same name all the
Speaker 4: way through? There's only one.
Speaker 1: Well, I'm assuming a W three AW. It would be year.
Speaker 4: It would be because we used to have at one
Speaker 4: stage three a R three l O three u Z
Speaker 4: three dB three k Z three X Y three A
Speaker 4: K they're all gone. What's the one that's still there,
Speaker 4: the one that sits on top and has done forever.
Speaker 1: Long long time. Well, in those days two it was
Speaker 1: twelve seventy eight and then came back to six nine three.
Speaker 4: That's right, it was, that's right, it was. It's a
Speaker 4: funny thing. Did you know every radio station called, every
Speaker 4: radio stations adds up to nine, every single one in
Speaker 4: the country.
Speaker 1: Is it nine? Or eighteen.
Speaker 4: Well what is eighteen eight and one two?
Speaker 1: Good? Thank you? Yes, thank you?
Speaker 5: Yeah?
Speaker 4: Six nine three.
Speaker 1: Eighty two, fourteen fourteen twenty two which was fourteen two
Speaker 1: and two or fourteen twenty two was eighteen yes, yeph
Speaker 1: you forget, don't you? And there was some I heard
Speaker 1: Dennis talking about this on the program some time ago.
Speaker 1: There was some odd reason for it, and I can't
Speaker 1: remember why now.
Speaker 4: Yeah, because at one stage there were long ago, they
Speaker 4: were every ten, you know, like like it'll be eight
Speaker 4: eighty and eight ninety.
Speaker 1: That's what it was.
Speaker 4: But then for some reason, rather it's that's how it's
Speaker 4: turned out. And if it adds up to it adds
Speaker 4: up to either nine or adds up to eighteen, and
Speaker 4: of course eight and one is nine.
Speaker 1: And our Perth listeners will be listening. They listened on
Speaker 1: eight eighty two, eight and eighty sixteen plus the two
Speaker 1: eighteen eighty two six pr in Perth. You stayed there.
Speaker 1: Will come back in just a moment to talk more
Speaker 1: about this souvenir astrod, which also looks good from your
Speaker 1: old home down. We'll do that next and plenty of time.
Speaker 1: The board is empty as we speak. If you have
Speaker 1: anything you would like to share. Share, You can do
Speaker 1: that right now with Rick Milne Antiques and Collectibles one
Speaker 1: double three six nine three. Don't leave us here by ourselves,
Speaker 1: because if you do, the programmer would then sound a
Speaker 1: bit like this, which we know is really really awkward
Speaker 1: because it sounds dreadful. Now. I don't know the Rick
Speaker 1: Milner would know much about this. I'm sure he would
Speaker 1: because he's pretty smart. He's been around her for well,
Speaker 1: now that you're in your early forties, Rick, you would
Speaker 1: have an idea of why it's called ketchup.
Speaker 4: In America, they call it cats up, don't they.
Speaker 1: Well, it's well to the the name origin. Apparently, according
Speaker 1: to David, who sends a note, ketchup came from a
Speaker 1: Chinese dish, which is a sauce made from pickled a fish.
Speaker 1: Believe the traders made their way to England, where they
Speaker 1: stayed in inns, often being called git chip in the
Speaker 1: local dialect. So it's all linked into that in terms
Speaker 1: of what became their source of choice. We just call
Speaker 1: it tommy Tommy sauce.
Speaker 4: How about that.
Speaker 1: Dead horse? Yeah, a couple of calls here, which is great.
Speaker 1: Thank you for those people ringing through you'll get through
Speaker 1: straight away one double three six nine three. If you'd
Speaker 1: love to be part of it, Ronnie in Burward Rick
Speaker 1: Milne is listening. Go ahead, good morning.
Speaker 6: Hello, I've just actually sent I spoke to your producer
Speaker 6: and sent to may malt through. I'm trying to find
Speaker 6: out who the artist is. I think it's Robert Cox.
Speaker 6: I've got a couple of oil paintings that were left
Speaker 6: to me from an art that passed.
Speaker 4: Away and Robert Cox. Is that what you're saying, Ronnie, Yes, okay,
Speaker 4: well I'll tell you what. I'll do it. We're going
Speaker 4: to take me a minute to do it, but while
Speaker 4: we're on in the next five minutes, I'll look him
Speaker 4: up in my huge book, which is about as big
Speaker 4: as one of the old time phone books. And if
Speaker 4: he's listed, because if he's is he an Australian artist.
Speaker 6: I believe so, from like nineteen thirties or something. From
Speaker 6: what I've I've done a little bit a recess, not much,
Speaker 6: but I was driving in the car on the way
Speaker 6: home and I only joves him out like three or
Speaker 6: four days ago, and then I had this part of
Speaker 6: the program coming. I thought, well, I might keep your
Speaker 6: brain Okay, I've.
Speaker 4: Got the story on Robert Cox. I've found him already.
Speaker 4: We've while you've been chatting away.
Speaker 1: You listen to this, Ronnie.
Speaker 4: How about this Robert Bruce Cox. He worked during the
Speaker 4: six seventies and eighties. He is offered thirty four paintings
Speaker 4: for sale. And by the way, if you haven't sold
Speaker 4: a painting through public auction, you don't have credibility and
Speaker 4: therefore your pain this, if you're in Australian you'd have
Speaker 4: to have done that. He's done that. He's off at
Speaker 4: thirty four for sale of Whi's seventeen if sold at
Speaker 4: an average price of four hundred and seventy one dollars.
Speaker 4: So there you go. That's his average selling price. Now
Speaker 4: he sold a couple for a bit more, but generally speaking,
Speaker 4: his price his highest price ever, by the way, was
Speaker 4: fifteen hundred. But his average selling price is for seventy one.
Speaker 4: So that's Robert Cox. That's the place to start. And
Speaker 4: if Ronnie, if you would like me too, give us
Speaker 4: a call in the morning after ten and I'll put
Speaker 4: you in touch with a very good up dealer who'll
Speaker 4: be able to help be a bit more specific for you.
Speaker 4: So if you'd like to be call, I'll give out
Speaker 4: that number in a while, So grab yourself a pin
Speaker 4: in the meantime.
Speaker 6: And we will take here and keep listening.
Speaker 1: Good on, Ronnie, how did you just to remind us again, Ronnie,
Speaker 1: how you ended up with these things?
Speaker 6: I inherited him. Turn Arnie, who's passed away. There we go,
Speaker 6: and I was just going through like a couple of
Speaker 6: years and I'm cleaning, not tiding up, downsizing myself and yeah,
Speaker 6: come across these box and went, oh my god, to
Speaker 6: be beautiful, thank you.
Speaker 4: Have you got a couple too? Yeah, that's all right, right.
Speaker 6: I mean they're obviously a sex because and they're just
Speaker 6: they're actulutely beautiful. But I would rather than go to
Speaker 6: someone that's really done a world.
Speaker 4: Well you're looking at I guess you're looking at somewhere
Speaker 4: near one thousand for two. That would be a minimum.
Speaker 4: Well that's an average price. Now yours may may be
Speaker 4: better than that, you see. So, but if you'd like
Speaker 4: to give me a call after ten, I'll give out
Speaker 4: the number in a while, runne And they were very
Speaker 4: well to call me, Thank you so.

Speaker 4: like a tire. That's exactly what they were. And they
Speaker 4: had a glass astray in the middle of a rubber tire,
Speaker 4: a little tiny rabbit, well not tiny, but like a
Speaker 4: rubber tire about I suppose about in size. About if
Speaker 4: you put your thumb out and your pointing finger the
Speaker 4: other way, it's about that size, isn't it. Around about

Speaker 4: to eighty dollars.

Speaker 4: Speaking of astrays, I've got one. I sent you one
Speaker 4: from my old hometown, Hamilton and Western District. I went
Speaker 4: to Hamilton High School for for five years and fell
Speaker 4: in love with four girls who none of them leaving.
Speaker 4: They didn't they did not even know I existed, because.
Speaker 1: You know, that was my first radio station, three h
Speaker 1: A Hamilton.
Speaker 4: Was it is that right in Gray Street?
Speaker 5: Uh?
Speaker 1: Well, no, I think it had moved there. It was
Speaker 1: a little it was just a tiny little build. Well
Speaker 1: maybe it was Gray Street, I can't remember now.
Speaker 4: It was on a corner. And I have to say
Speaker 4: that if you look very carefully at that scene, it's
Speaker 4: taken more or less from about where the radio station
Speaker 4: was looking down. Okay, the main street. How about that.
Speaker 1: Little Gray Street that's the one. Yeah, you're right. It
Speaker 1: was owned by the Washington family. Barry Washington was the
Speaker 1: general manager's name, no longer with us. Had a great
Speaker 1: voice and did a lot of work at BTV six.
Speaker 4: In Bellerat wasn't it wasn't that a TV station.
Speaker 1: It was a great TV station service alls in these
Speaker 1: areas like certainly like Hamilton in those days.
Speaker 4: And they actually had one down in Gippsland, two at
Speaker 4: Terrelgon right at channel ten g LV, Yeah, g LV ten,
Speaker 4: and they had two EV six and they had a
Speaker 4: lot of local programming, a lot.
Speaker 1: I think Shephard and may have had one.
Speaker 4: I think they may have as well as well.
Speaker 1: From memory, yeah.
Speaker 4: I think you might be right. You know the other two,
Speaker 4: I'm aware of those, and they were they were doing
Speaker 4: programs that you didn't pick up in the city. It
Speaker 4: was it was quite amazing really in a way. But
Speaker 4: of course now it's all with homogenized.
Speaker 1: I didn't know you were a Hamilton boy. So everything's
Speaker 1: connected in many many ways.
Speaker 4: We have been a bit connected, haven't we.
Speaker 5: We have?
Speaker 1: You were going to say about Hamilton.
Speaker 4: I was just going to say about speaking the footy
Speaker 4: thing I've got there's an absolutely it's kind of a
Speaker 4: double bugger in a way. It's a lovely image of
Speaker 4: a TAA plane and all the ways they had laid
Speaker 4: football is a sort of on the on the post
Speaker 4: in front of the of the plane. They've been on
Speaker 4: a footy trip. I reckon, that's just a little classic,
Speaker 4: that one.
Speaker 1: What would that have been there? Why would they be
Speaker 1: using t A a brand in a place like Hamilton.
Speaker 4: It's not from out this from west. This is the
Speaker 4: West Adelaide.
Speaker 1: Oh, I beg your pardon.
Speaker 4: I'm sorry, Okay, West Dad laid footay club and they'd
Speaker 4: gone on a trip and they took the plane. So
Speaker 4: now we're we've moved, we've moved on from Hamilton.
Speaker 1: Forgive me, I'm sorry because I think I'm right about that.
Speaker 1: Red Ansat that was the home for Anset. Wasn't Hamilton, it.
Speaker 4: Was and I actually still have a speaking of that.
Speaker 4: He had his depot behind the local Picture theater and
Speaker 4: he drove these little minibuses. He had these little fleet
Speaker 4: of minibuses which ran locally, well not just in the town,
Speaker 4: but down into other little parts of the world, Marino
Speaker 4: and these other little places, Digby and so forth, and
Speaker 4: he used to That's how we started up driving one
Speaker 4: of these little little mini I suppose you call it
Speaker 4: mini bus. You know, you could fit about eight people
Speaker 4: in I suppose eight or ten people and he and
Speaker 4: I've still got one of the original little cards that
Speaker 4: he that he put out, and that's where he started.
Speaker 4: And of course the fame and fortune made him made
Speaker 4: himself a big shot and in flying, you know, but
Speaker 4: that's where he started worked.
Speaker 1: Out pretty well. Did you ever get down to that
Speaker 1: Royal Male Hotel in dunk Kild.
Speaker 4: I don't think it's anything to do with that with
Speaker 4: Alan Myers, who was a the great mister Myers. H yeah,
Speaker 4: he and Ilough. I haven't been to it. Everybody who
Speaker 4: it's just a spectacular wing.
Speaker 1: Say hello to Mike in Newport. Rick Milne's listening to you.
Speaker 3: Make hello, Hi, Rick, I've got a what is it?
Speaker 3: An A four size? It's on my friend's side. Test
Speaker 3: Cricket souve in the nineteen thirty eight and at the
Speaker 3: top has got the Agent and the Leader, published by
Speaker 3: David Cyber's about twenty pages and it has all the
Speaker 3: test matches in England and what you did with it.
Speaker 3: You filled out all the scores and everything of each test.
Speaker 3: And it's been written in ink like when a fountain
Speaker 3: pen or ocean, Yes, dipped it in the in a
Speaker 3: little pot of ink that sort of thing and it's
Speaker 3: on the back it has a diagram of all the
Speaker 3: fielding positions on the that's quite interesting measurements for cricket pitch.
Speaker 3: But then each test somebody has filled it all eating
Speaker 3: on board. It a day market in dults with actually
Speaker 3: about twenty thirty years ago and I've had the all
Speaker 3: this tour at less different articles about like W. G.
Speaker 3: Grace International Cricket was a story also about Mullugs Aboriginal team.
Speaker 1: Yes, so what do we need to know about that
Speaker 1: particular outfit the rick.
Speaker 4: That's great, it is good and it's amazing. You know,
Speaker 4: in the earlier times, people would sit up and listen
Speaker 4: to the test matches from England and they'd have a
Speaker 4: cricket school book scorebook and they put all the little
Speaker 4: dots and then six or four or two whatever they got,
Speaker 4: and then are marked all along about how many runs
Speaker 4: a player got till they were out and how they
Speaker 4: were out and how many wickets. The first it was
Speaker 4: amazing people people people just used to do it and
Speaker 4: I reckon, it's great, and I reckon it's a beauty
Speaker 4: that I like very much, And I reckon, you get
Speaker 4: a undred dollars worth that these days because it's such
Speaker 4: an unusual thing. It's something of the past, and you know,
Speaker 4: it's a that's it's a past that's kind of long gone.
Speaker 4: But you will find enough people that are interested. Older
Speaker 4: people mostly, it has to be said, but would be
Speaker 4: interested in such items such an item.
Speaker 1: If I said to you, thank you for that. If
Speaker 1: I said to you one of those great cricket commentators
Speaker 1: at that time, you would instantly think.
Speaker 4: Of Alan mcgilbroy.
Speaker 1: Yeah, there it is. I knew you'd get that straight away.
Speaker 4: And what he used to do is a very very
Speaker 4: heavy smoker, and he would he would do everything through binoculars,
Speaker 4: which are sort of on a stand, and he'd be calling,
Speaker 4: calling the cricket and smoking at the same time.
Speaker 1: How'd he do that?
Speaker 4: Would you do it?
Speaker 1: Just get it? That's what he did, and the bulls
Speaker 1: giving down. And wonderful he was.
Speaker 4: He was a terrific comment.

Speaker 4: So people think they've got a lot when they've got one, two,
Speaker 4: three four, But the first one was actually number zero.
Speaker 4: And they're very hard to find us five. You'll often

Speaker 8: eighties maybe nineties. He won a lot of he won
Speaker 8: the road for awards, he won a lot of the
Speaker 8: local things. He wasn't if you.
Speaker 4: Say his name was te double r y T for
Speaker 4: tom oh Perry.
Speaker 8: I know our first name is a Wickham.
Speaker 4: W no, no, no. The last name Perry, Pip. I
Speaker 4: thought you said Terry. Or I'll just do a bit
Speaker 4: of a quick quick run on him.
Speaker 8: So if I can find him any name, it should
Speaker 8: pop up there because we can w I think it's
Speaker 8: w y k. We can with that like handy.
Speaker 4: That's exactly what it is. He was born in thirty
Speaker 4: six w y k e h A M. He's offered
Speaker 4: seventy one paintings for sale, sold fifty five for an
Speaker 4: average price of five hundred and thirteen dollars, with the
Speaker 4: highest price of twenty two hundred dollars, and he tended
Speaker 4: he didn't tended to do a lot of sort of
Speaker 4: country scenes, but he was a well known artist and
Speaker 4: born in nineteen thirty six, So there we go.
Speaker 8: Well, Rick, I tell you I've got in my little
Speaker 8: storage cage. I've got him under blankets. I've got cut
Speaker 8: along story short I bought. I've got about two hundred
Speaker 8: and fifty of his works of art in different sizes
Speaker 8: on canvas, and and now I paid. I'm not going
Speaker 8: to say the name because I don't want to upset anyone.
Speaker 8: But even though he's upset me, I paid the individual
Speaker 8: for framing on top of the artwork many years ago.
Speaker 8: I paid for the framing. So he gave me sort
Speaker 8: of a deal because I bought twenty at a time,
Speaker 8: thirtieth time, fifty, and then I bought you know, initially
Speaker 8: I started with one or two because they were hard
Speaker 8: to get my hands. It's only because I had a
Speaker 8: little bit of money from an inheritance that I thought
Speaker 8: I was told to believe, made to believe that this
Speaker 8: man's art well skyrocket in the future. So I thought,
Speaker 8: I'm going to grab them while they're available. And I
Speaker 8: knew a man who was dealing directly with Wickham at
Speaker 8: the time, so I bought a might.
Speaker 4: Says, yes you do, Adam is to take my phone
Speaker 4: number down and I'll put you in touch with a

Speaker 1: of these in Melbourne. Hello, Gary, say hello to Rick Milne.
Speaker 2: Rick, and hello Hello. What I initially called up with
Speaker 2: that was just you said that three ah A was
Speaker 2: on the corner Gray. I've always ever known it to
Speaker 2: be in brown straight that halfway down.
Speaker 1: That little yeah, that that's that's what I was thinking
Speaker 1: too a little just a little one door at the
Speaker 1: front of the building there on.
Speaker 2: Yeah, next to the car partner.
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's the one. But prior to that, I think
Speaker 1: it was on.
Speaker 2: The corner bay.
Speaker 4: Was it in Brown where the commods was not far
Speaker 4: from the primary skill sort of across the road and
Speaker 4: just up the hill from the primary school.
Speaker 2: Okay, so a bit.
Speaker 1: But when Rick were there was just prior to World
Speaker 1: War two.
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, I had a back in those days,
Speaker 4: people used to come in and perform. Yeah the auditory
Speaker 4: Walters they wouldn't walters. They one played the piano and
Speaker 4: one thing. You wouldn't believe it during the day.
Speaker 2: Yeah, anyway, there anyway, just quickly I did. While I
Speaker 2: was here. I just had to remember a couple of
Speaker 2: things that I've got a promotional poster that was used
Speaker 2: for the Kiss Dynasty album. It was It's actually a
Speaker 2: sticker though, it's about a two paper side. So I
Speaker 2: was just wondering if that might have had any day.
Speaker 4: Ye die, Where did it come from?
Speaker 2: I got it from. I grew up in Elsta near
Speaker 2: Elst Week Park and there's a record store that was
Speaker 2: in Glen Hutley Road just needs the station. I got
Speaker 2: it from there. And then just one other thing I've
Speaker 2: actually got Darryl Summers nineteen maybe two had a show,
Speaker 2: The Daryl Summer Show, on a Tuesday and a Thursday night.
Speaker 5: Yes, yes, I knew.
Speaker 2: The director managed to get tickets number one and ticket
Speaker 2: number two for the order. I still hold them. I
Speaker 2: was just wondering if they had any value.
Speaker 4: They might have a bit. If there are people who
Speaker 4: do collect TV memorabilia, it has to be said, from
Speaker 4: everything for fan carves to We were just talking a
Speaker 4: bit earlier about some of the country country TV stations,
Speaker 4: and there are people who collect in those areas. So
Speaker 4: asked the question, I reckon those would be with twenty
Speaker 4: or thirty a police, that's my guess. And on the
Speaker 4: other gee, that would be pretty good. I would reckon
Speaker 4: a hundred, perhaps a bit more.
Speaker 2: It has got a tiny bit of damage. It's got
Speaker 2: where I'll put some drawing pins into it in the
Speaker 2: corners on the wall.
Speaker 4: A bit of a yeah, that's right. We used to
Speaker 4: do all those things and without even thinking about it.
Speaker 4: But still, if it's not too severely damaged, it would
Speaker 4: it be heading towards that price.
Speaker 2: At least all right, all right, thank you, Thank you Gary.
Speaker 1: What a great cool in Perth in w A.
Speaker 5: Hello Jeffrey, Hello the attorney and Reck thanks for having
Speaker 5: me on your program.

Speaker 5: people that might be interested in error model magazines which
Speaker 5: I'd collected over.
Speaker 1: Oh it is, that's right.
Speaker 5: Yes, remember that I've got one hundred and forty seven
Speaker 5: of them, dating back to nineteen forty nine and through
Speaker 5: the nineteen fifty nine some year some years the seriplications
