 Own a Piece of Iconic Australian History!

This is an excellent example of a vintage commemorative souvenir spoon celebrating the life and enduring legacy of Reverend John Flynn OBE, DD ("Flynn of the Inland"). His tireless work founded the Australian Inland Mission (AIM), which evolved into the world-renowned Royal Flying Doctor Service (RFDS).

This is a powerful piece of Australian Historical Memorabilia that stands far above a generic tourist souvenir.


Key Features of this Collectible:

Iconic Subject: Features a clear portrait cameo of John Flynn and etched text detailing his greatest achievement: founding the AIM in 1912 and the Aerial Medical Service (RFDS) in 1928.

Collector Condition: This spoon is in a remarkable New Old Stock (NOS) condition, presented in its original plastic display case. The enamel-style portrait and etched bowl text are pristine and untouched, which is highly sought after by collectors.

Cross-Collectible Appeal: Perfect for collectors of Australian Souvenir Spoons, RFDS memorabilia, and those interested in the history of the Australian Outback.

Vintage Quality: A charming piece from the 1970s/80s, reflecting a bygone era of Australian tourism and commemoration.
