A scarce Lyrebird eight-ball cricket umpire’s counter dating from the 1930s.
Designed to record each delivery in an eight-ball over, the format used in Australian first-class cricket from 1918 until 1979. The circular metal case features an inset numeral window, Lyrebird branding and a ball-shaped thumb piece.
An uncommon piece of early Australian cricket memorabilia, particularly sought after in the eight-ball form.
Good original condition with surface wear, oxidation and marks consistent with age and use.
