This traditional boomerang was made out of 7 mm Aussie plywood in the 1960s. Both tips have Aboriginal style art and an outback scene with an Aboriginal camp is painted on the elbow. There is pronounced beveling on the underside of the lift arm leading edge. It is in excellent condition and it includes the original cardboard back with instructions which has some creases and light soiling, but it is complete. The reverse side of the boomerang has remnants of the glue that was used to attach the instruction sheet to the underside of the boomerang.
Jack Byham was one of Australia's best known boomerang manufacturers. He was a real 'Crocodile Dundee' who spent a lot of time with the Aborigines. Jack made boomerangs and throwsticks using traditional Aboriginal methods and many of his products are mistaken as genuine Aboriginal artifacts. Jack is most famous for his commercial boomerang products that spanned a half century from the Olympic Games in Melbourne (1956) through the 1990s. Jack made exceptional throwsticks and natural elbow boomerangs and these are in high demand by Australian collectors. Jack was a past president of the Boomerang Association of Australia and the founder of Binghi Boomerangs. |
