Another rare 'shin-plaster' issue from Northern Queensland from the same town that issued the W.S. Weigh note in 1931. Although not dated and as a proof general form, based on style and area suggests a date of the late 1920's. A similar note was sold in Spink Noble Sale 36 (lot 2730) but this was No. X8911 and dated May 16, 1928.
