‘Oscar’ board game is a race to stardom dating from Hollywood in the 1940s. You pick your character from the 20th Century Fox stable of stars; Betty Grable, Tyrone Power, Maureen O’Hara and more…

Lucky breaks, spells in recovery for ‘nervous reaction’, eternal triangles and holidays in Reno, this is a rollercoaster ride of life in showbiz!

Cast iron early 20th Century eagles. Each is heavy enough to be a very effective doorstop. Very regal.

Two-colour screenprint onto brown cardboard. By overlapping the colours to create shadows and even mixing them for the logo, this piece of packaging from the 1960’s illustrates the beauty of simplicity in design.

Original Pop Art.

Wooden folk art clogs. Early 20th Century French. The strange thing about them is that they are subtly carved to suggest a traditional English Oxford shoe.

Clever clogs.

Up until the twentieth century in Europe and North America, male and female children were often dressed alike in petticoats with long hair, until “breeching” occurred when boys between the age of 3 and 7 would wear their first masculine clothes.

This solemn little boy is oil on canvas in the Flemish 17th Century style, painted more recently, possibly early 20th Century.

Nice pair of legs. Delicate glazed porcelain pins poured into faded gilt high heels.

Mounted on a gilt chain these cheeky legs nestled in your decolletage would catch the eye. Edwardian sauce.

Super giant “O”.

The joy of the “O” is that it can represent a hole, a circle, an initial, an exclamation…it’s symmetrical which is always a good thing aesthetically…and this one is a biggie at 96cm.

More “O” to love.

This dessertspoon is 8 feet tall, made of fibreglass and was a point-of-sale prop in the 1970s.

Walking with it down Hackney Road, Mr Goldstein was immediately transformed into a character from a nursery rhyme….someone dishy running away with a spoon?….or as if he was looking for a portal back through the looking glass…

Fancy some 1950’s PT shorts or gymphlex girls shorts for a bit of weekend casualwear?

This pristine deadstock comes in men’s and women’s sizes (except the culottes!) and as well as the comfort factor, the fresh navy blue colourway is perfect teamed with crisp white or classic stripes, we think there’s something very British and  kinky about this gymnasium chic!

QUESTION: What do you get if you cross Bates the gentlemen’s hatters of Jermyn Street with the biggest fast food giant in the world?

ANSWER: M.Goldstein.

Our latest window is perhaps the most crowd-pulling so far. Ironic really, you can put a highly decorative antique on display but it will not draw the same reaction as a bright yellow capitalist symbol.

“Would you like fries with that?”
