There were numerous foundries here which were making cast iron products to
their own design, these were sold here and to other Australian Colonies. By the late
1880s there were large shipments of stoves made in Maryborough being shipped to other
ports around the Colony of Queensland, some of those stoves remained in Maryborough
– few survive in their original homes. One shipment alone from the Albion Foundry saw
19 dray loads of stoves being shipped to Brisbane.

Funeral Notice - Maryborough Chronicle dated Friday, June 10, 1904:
The friends of Robert and Margaret Connell are respectfully invited to attend the Funeral of their dearly beloved son (George), to move from his parents' residence, corner of Sussex and Unity streets, this afternoon, at 3 o'clock.

Another sudden death is reported, the victim being a young man named George Connell, aged 21, residing with his parents in Unity Street. A few days ago the young fellow was removed to the Hospital for treatment, but all efforts to save him proved unavailing. The deceased was a well known Wallaroo footballer, and was very popular amongst his associates, to whom the news of his death will come as a very painful shock, as it was only last Saturday that he was playing with his team at Newtown Park.
...[Maryborough Chronicle dated 10th June 1904]

The funeral of the young man George Connell, whose sad death we mentioned in yesterday's issue, took place yesterday afternoon, and was largely attended. The Albion Stove Foundry, where the deceased was employed, closed for the afternoon as a mark of respect, and the employees and a large number of Wallaroo footballers, of which club deceased was a member, marched in front of the hearse. The Rev. C. Boyall conducted the burial service at the graveside. With reference to our statement in yesterday's paragraph that on removal to the Hospital all efforts to save him were unaviling, it should be explained that the patient's condition on admission to the Hospital was such that no hope was entertained of his recovery.

More confusion  -  KD


I think you are the one making it more confusing by continuing to write about it. 

It has been clearly discussed previously and proven that the Albion Stove Works was in fact in Queensland and not Victoria.

My suggestion is that the seller is confused.

PRESENTATION AT ALBION STOVE WORKS
On Wednesday afternoon the employees of the Albion Stove Works assembled together to bid farewell to a comrade, Geo. Brocklay, who is leaving shortly for England having been accepted as a munition worker. Mr F. Angell, as a Director, in the absence of the managing director, Mr J. A. Hockley, on behalf of the employees, presented Mr Brockley with a handsome gold albert, suitably inscribed, and made eulogistic reference to Mr Brockley as a splendid tradesman. His fellow workers thought they would like to give him some token of esteem, at the same time wish him a safe voyage, and would look forward with pleasure to his return. It was about three years ago since the first lot of volunteers from the Albion Foundry were sailing with the first Australian Expeditionary Force for the front. Mr Brockley, in a few words, thanked them all for their handsome present and their kind wishes.
