Clock runs out on father of Sydney's antique trade

He would be remembered, colleagues said, as the father of the Sydney antique world. W.F. "Bill" Bradshaw, died yesterday at age 87. Just five months ago he sold his last piece, a fine English lacquer longcase clock. The former prime minister described him as ''simply the most knowledgeable antique dealer Australia has known.'' He lived his life with humor and ''on a diet of cheese, pickled onions and wedding cake.''
