BUY ME!

I'm listing a collector's item plate on good old Ebay. It's a commemorative plate released in 1938 to celebrate the Sesqui-Centenary of Australian settlement (i.e. 150 years since white dudes settled).

It's got a brutal pic on the front of a colonial guy taking aim at some aboriginies in the distance, so it shows the typical mindset of the day.

Check it out: http://cgi.ebay.com.au/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=3777692271

I think it'll fetch a good price, being Royal Doulton and all.

Australia celebrated it's bi-centenary back in 1988, I remember that one! 200 years of white settlement.
