Mrs Sprott advertised this crystal ball for sale in the 1960s for $32,000.00


The Brisbane Courier Mail first took her classified advert, then created a piece in the paper - "Rare or Loaded" then followed up with a further article - "Rolling riches, its no dice".
This object, in the box and associated clippings was offered on Instagram by @turnofthecenturyantiques for $20.00 I was tipped off about it by Vanessa Roche who already knew that I had three others . . . my first one is also with its box and instructions and marked for sale for 5 Australian pence. The two other cast glass balls came to me sans packaging.
I hope you enjoy this urban archaeology as much as I have?
