The "Sherman's Back" FC Holden - Lightning Ridge Historical Society

The Sherman family have been involved in and supporting the Lightning Ridge (and Australian) opal community since 1896. This 1959 FC Holden was used to advertise the business for many years and now resides with the Lightning Ridge Historical Society as a piece of local heritage and a local icon.
