This traditional boomerang was made in the early 1970s out of Aussie (Coachwood?) plywood. It is stamped with the Burwell boomerang logo and with " Standard 18 " on the underside of the elbow to designate the model and size. There is a coating of high gloss varnish or polyurethane on the upper surface. The flight range is 20+ metres. This boomerang is in very good condition. There are light scratches and wear and a couple of tiny edge dings from general use. This boomerang came from the Burwell family collection. It is a very good flyer.
Ces Burwell was a well known boomerang maker and thrower in the 1940s - 1970s. Ces is the father of Bob Burwell, one of Australia's best known boomerang throwers and a top rated world competitor.
