1865 approx - Sweeney/Carrucan heirlooms - carved emu egg and vase40 viewsThis traditionally carved emu egg was passed onto Mary Carrucan (nee Sweeney) by her father John Sweeney. It was on display in this old pink vase in the dining room at the Dalton Street farm house for some 60 years.

The family story was that the vase itself was a gift to John Sweeney and Ellen Kenney on the occasion of their wedding on 10 Nov 1868, but it looks to be from a later time, so that is probably apocryphal.
