regional museums. The Commonwealth Bank Archives holds a number of similar
items from the Rural Bank of New South Wales. The Rural Bank was established in
1932, renamed the State Bank of New South Wales in 1981 and was finally
acquired by Colonial Limited in 1994. As a result of the Colonial Ltd merger in
2000 the Commonwealth Bank Archives acquired both the Colonial Archives and the
Rural Bank of New South Wales Archives. <o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"'>We
have kept half a dozen of the items for our Archives but we are trying to
dispose of the dozen or so remaining items. </span><span lang=EN-US
style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"'>These items are
painted metal Government of New South Wales crests, (used as the crest for the
Rural Bank of New South Wales), both small and large, which we are
offering to interested parties. We believe that the crests were used for
display purposes in agricultural shows and other shows. The items are generic
and do not include signage of any particular town. The large crests are 51cm
length x 33 cm height and the small crests 38cm length x 25 cm height. We
believe that these crests may be of interest to smaller regional museums in New
South Wales whose towns may have had a Rural Bank of New South Wales presence. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
