1   NED KELLY: Brass Cash Box, engraved "Ann Jones, Glenrowan Inn, GLENROWAN, 1876". The Glenrowan Inn was established by Mrs Ann Jones. She paid £6 for a block of land, which had a small slab hut built on it. A £100 mortgage allowed her to erect a weatherboard building lined with hessian and paper and ceilings of calico, furnish it, and have enough money to start the business. On Sunday 27th June 1880, just after midnight, Ned Kelly took over her Hotel so that it could be used to house the Gang's hostages. By 3:30 am the following day, her hotel was nothing but ashes, it being burnt down by the police, to try and flush the last of the Kelly Gang out of hiding. Provenance: The Cash Box was recovered 6 days after the fire by a farm worker from Greta, and about 1890 was given to the Great Grand-mother of Mrs H.Wilson of Taggerty and has been in the family since.  $500 - $1000
