Annandale After...
$38.00
Size GuideWhen a meteor shower destroyed most of Australia’s landmass in the second decade of the 21st century, all that remained was the leafy Sydney suburb of Annandale. These are the tales of how life changed in the thirty years that followed.
Suddenly mortality felt real and activities once urgent seemed empty. People began to ask deep thoughts and questions once ignored. As the world became slower, phones were replaced with tiny printers that created tiny scrolls of astonishing essays that people would devour with each spare moment. The world became more caring and people were happier than before the meteors fell.
After the meteor, older people were rare, so exotic and admired. Bertrand became famous for his vivid recollection of events past. Shortly after, he was voted the most handsome man in the world.
As the boy compared his love to a glowing sky, little did he know the imminent meteor shower would soon destroy the path they now strolled.
A mysterious thing began to happen one day: the world’s coolest youth started to age in reverse. Their once youthful, now looked old, and grew younger looking over time. Soon an older appearance became desirable and attractive. Those unafflicted by the mysterious change desired to look older, more like the cool youth — they greyed their hair, underwent surgery to loosen their skin, and tattooed sunspots.
In the disaster’s aftermath, modesty came into vogue and opulence was disdained by the wealthy, who purchased new luxury cars with old exteriors.
No one suspected it, but this boy would grow up to change the world by being the first world leader in history to wear shorts and sneakers every day.
Each morning this coffee would somehow be magically replenished. Its owner was grateful for his abundant gift and favoured it — not one day did he notice a pattern. As he sipped the coffee, every conversation with his friends confided their problems, and something strange happened: their fortunes mysteriously reversed. He grew resentful at their happiness and tried to give the coffee away, hoping to unbind a magnet of its mysterious power. But when he gave away the coffee, its power was lost forever.
The day after finding this pocket watch for the first time, its recipient would awake with a list in their own handwriting titled ‘Things I must do differently from today on’ — no memory of where it came from, and no sign of the pocket watch. What they didn’t remember was that the watch displayed the future date and time of their death, counting backwards to the present.
A man invented socks that made him feel the anguish and joy of anyone he looked at. He used those amazing socks to win the affection of anyone, and soon ruled the world. Over time though, feeling what others felt became common and his heart became hard. While he ruled the world, he no longer felt anything. And he regretted what his invention had made him.
A time traveller from 2050 travelled fourteen years into the past when he accidentally bumped the ‘backwards’ toggle in his car. He realised the error only after noticing men wore pants and not the customary kilt of his era.
The mother and her son devoured their food, unaware what they ate wasn’t a cheap buffet but rather the precise artistry of the world’s greatest chef. You see, convinced of her genius, the chef accepted her arch rival’s ultimate challenge: to convince the ordinary diners that truffles and petrified dinosaur eggs were nothing more than common food.
Prized DNA of the once-common but now extinct seagull was secretly smuggled as a yellow necklace by a billionaire who longed to see the bird flying once again, high above the ocean.
Greg and Helen were said to be the most fortuitous treasure hunters in the world. What no one knew is that after a strange meteor shower they now possessed heightened senses that helped them detect gold from afar.

Celebrate Your Mistakes
$38.00
Size GuideCelebrate your mistakes!
Take this ‘Inverted Jenny’ stamp for example. Whoever made it printed the plane upside down — oops :(
That mistake though made it rare (and prized — prized enough to cost the price of fifty cars, unless your car is a Ferrari, then maybe it’s two or three).
So celebrate your mistakes (but keep them rare enough to still be prized :)
And remember: those without mistakes to speak of have no success to speak of either.

Tales from the 470
$38.00
Size GuideEleven strangers. One bus route. The 470 carries them all, and Oscar caught a little of each life along the way.
The Boy with Earphones
Gregory had escaped high school, but that hadn’t stopped his stubborn skin blemishes, which confined him to a lonely inner world, forever waiting for them to disappear. Each day as he travelled to work, however, this exile was briefly halted by immersion into a world of soaring music where his skin didn’t matter.
The Fashion Mavericks
The two fashion mavericks sported identical maroon pants and blue sneakers.
The Childless Father
Hugh Jenkins was a childless father who lived as though he were still a single man. His son longed to receive the affection bestowed on his father’s prized cologne, gym bag and string of femme fatales.
The Traveller with the Pink Hat
The man with a pink straw hat and deep green overalls boarded the bus and buoyantly remarked that a bus on the same route had arrived simultaneously. This mysterious traveller seemed unacquainted with life’s cruel and mundane ways.
The Fate of Albert Cross
Albert Cross was 16th century England’s greatest landowner and celebrated inventor of the microscope. Or rather, he would have been, had he not been born 500 years later in 21st century Australia. This quirk of fate limited his notoriety to fluorescent green running shorts that prompted glances from passersby.
The Prized Possession
Even as an older lady, Gina was still strikingly attractive. In fact, her life had been built upon this very beauty and desirability. As the years passed she clung desperately to it, all the while ruing every passing day as time slowly stole her most prized possession.
The Old Man with the Colourful Bracelets
I saw an old man whose white beard framed his face, and as he wheeled a suitcase of his possessions behind him, paused for a moment to hawk hand-weaved bracelets of assorted colours to the stream of passersby. And as I watched, I wondered about the 70 year journey that had brought him here, and how many he hoped to sell, and whether the sum of his life was what he held in his hand.
Jethro’s Dilemma
In 2012, wealthy New York debtor Jethro Fairfax presented this dilemma to James Pietersen in return for waiving his $35,000 debt: for one week, without explaining the circumstances to anyone, wear either the luminous tracksuit pants or the satin tracksuit top throughout the normal course of your work week.
Peter and the Man with Bags
The homeless man carried in his hands the accumulated possessions of his entire life. As Peter looked on, he felt like that man — only, Peter carried with him a career’s accumulated knowledge of how to complete a series of little-valued compliance tasks.
The Cleaner, the Busdriver, the Streetsweeper
Say hello to your cleaner, bus driver and street sweeper. Ponder your life if they didn’t clean your office, drive you to work and school, or sweep your streets. Should an unexpected contagion wipe them out, you’d suddenly love what they did for you. Don’t wait until then.

The 1933 Double Eagle
$38.00
Size GuideIn 1933, the United States Mint struck 445,500 of these $20 gold pieces — and then, almost overnight, took the country off the gold standard before a single one legally reached the public. The order came down: melt them all.
A small handful escaped anyway, slipped out through a side door of the Philadelphia Mint before the furnaces caught up with them. For decades the Secret Service hunted the survivors down, one by one, until only a single coin remained in private hands — once owned by King Farouk of Egypt, the only Double Eagle the U.S. government ever agreed was legally his to sell. In 2021 it went to auction for over US$18 million, the most ever paid for a coin.
It is a strange kind of fame: the most valuable object of its type in the world, made valuable precisely because it was never supposed to exist at all. Oscar drew it small, and let it sit alone on the page — the way it likely sat, unnoticed, in someone’s pocket in 1933, before anyone knew what it was.

The Amazing Amusement Park
$38.00
Size GuideIn a world similar to ours but different, there is an amusement park more magical than any — with rollercoasters, or fairy floss, or balloons.
Here, the rides are exhilarating not for their speed or thrill, but their mysterious serenity. Here, the breeze blows with just the right breeziness, the sun is neither faint nor hot, and it’s neither loud nor silent.
I suppose you could say each ride feels like the most contented moment you’ve ever had (but for the whole day).
No one can quite explain this enchanted place, and no one wants to. Visitors never want to leave, because here they forget that they ever had troubles. When they leave, however, they forget that they’d ever been so content.

The Fourth Place Medal
$38.00
Size GuideThe little-known tale of the 20th century’s finest mind, and its greatest unsung inventor: Thomas F. Forf, whose misspelt name became synonymous with being astonishingly great — but not first.
Forf, a humble genius of rare intellect, was overshadowed by a handful of inventors history has wrongly credited with powered flight, the radio and the ballpoint pen (plus a rumoured dozen more). The Wright Brothers’ first plane, “Flyer I”, was simply propelled by a serendipitous wind gust. Reginald Fessenden’s radio transmission was the echo from an adjacent bathroom. And the ballpoint pen came a decade after Forf’s — uncatchily named — “writing ink stick”.
Through an unassuming spirit of generosity, Thomas F. quietly fixed each invention’s fatal flaws — though not their inventor, and so never became known as their first, only, in time, as “the great fixer”. These circumstances, and the similarity of Forf’s surname to the number 4, mutated over time into “Fourth”. So the true meaning of the word, and the extraordinary Thomas F., were lost to history. These firsts were never possible without Forf — and neither, today, is first place without fourth.
To honour Forf, and in the tradition of the Nobel Prize and Olympic medals, this is the world’s first dedicated Fourth Place Medal — struck for the unrecognised: enabling pioneers, near-miss bronze medallists, and anyone demonstrating outstanding precision in finishing between 3rd and 5th.
