Vintage 50's McCall's

Hi, lovely piece of history, looks early fifties, so the kit is probably original'ish. I had a quick skirt around and there's no trace of the shop any where, if you want more info, local archives maybe worth a visit. There was a boom in cycling just after the war, but started to hit a slippery slope in the early fifties, and this may of been a failed startup at that time. Are you restoring it, if so, its worth while taking your time and trying just to give it a cleanup, polish and tidyup first, as its the only one I've seen. Terry
 
Re:

I think this may be frm my grandad's shop in Mare Street, Hackney. Do you still have it? Lovely to see!
 
really nice. what is the saddle please. i dont think i have noticed double ring cottered cranks much...but
the style of them looks familiar. would the brake levers be original also ?
