Made obviously in 1956 to commemorate the Melbourne Olympics.
Don't know if it was a one off by an enthusiast or a commercial souvenir item?

I suspect it is a commercial item. The drawing of the items is far too good for an anateur. This is WONDERFUL.

I have a tin ready to go for the opening.

It was probably a kit sold by Semco or other and was embroidered at home. Fantastic and so fitting!
