Summary
Red paper envelope with 'coat of arms' of the Myer store. (The coat of arms is not that of the Myer family.) The Myer Store for Men opened in 1922 in Post Office Place. The envelope might have been an attempt to create a prestigious image for Myer.
Donated to Museum Victoria with a collection of material reflecting the economic life of the donor's parents, who lived in suburban East Malvern, in south-east Melbourne.
Physical Description
Red, rectangular paper envelope printed with coat of arms - rampant lions with 'M' topped by crown - on the front.
