Neo Cafe Unique Menu

Nearly everyday at the shop we have people bring in old photos or memorabilia of Shepparton's past. It's wonderful and a great surprise to see what has survived. A great relief too as we get many people tell us that their family has, over the years, thrown out photos and history as they thought that no one would be interested.
Just recently Padge Power brought in this marvellous menu that was used at the Neo Cafe. I wonder how they were used. Were they used as table mats (as there are 2 menus on the sheet) or passed around from table to table?
An unusual item is the Egg Chocolate drink 10d.
​
If you would like one of these as a souvenir we have them in the shop laminated.
Size: about 40cm x 40cm. Cost: $15

Running Hoop Rolling Toy - Furphy's

Well this is an interesting find... Running Hoop Rolling Toy.
John brought in this toy he had as a kid and was given to him by his grandfather, who played with it as a young child too. His grandmother said it was made at Furphy's (John says...'perhaps on the sly') and would be about 110 years old. On show in the shop with some history of running hoop rolling.
