Melbourne’s Thomas Blamey Monument

• CATEGORIES: Features, Monuments/Statues, Old News Articles • TAGS: This site contains affiliate links for which I may be compensated.

Field Marshall Sir Thomas Albert Blamey was memorialized in a monument in the Royal Botanical Gardens in Melbourne, Australia. It shows him standing while gripping part of a jeep windshield. The way a July 1955 Willys News described it, I thought there’d be a whole jeep!

This listing is for 4 knobs (4) (two pair) IVORY knobs and DOESNT include the Sliding Window lock itself nor the rear ashtray itself.

They are dimensionally 100% accurate 3D printed knobs. They are printed with a unthreaded pilot hole to either attach to the sliding window lock stud or to the cover mounting screw for the rear ashtray. The material is stronger and better, in every respect, than the original bakelite plastic.
