A rare 'shin-plaster' issue from Northern Queensland from the same town that issued the W.S.Weigh note in 1931. Various other notes and denominations are known for this merchant, but this example appears to be a new note previously unrecorded. A selection of higher denomination notes were sold in Spink Noble Sale 36 (lots 2728-2730) and a similar five shilling note was in Noble Numismatics Sale 63 (lot 3037).
