Based on “The Owl and the Pussycat” by Edward Lear.
You can perhaps see why I only made 3 examples of this one.
2 are in private collections

Jigsaw boats
Not automata but some of my most successful designs.
I made hundreds of these in these Noah’s Arks in the 1980s.
I produced them in 3 sizes and sold mainly through galleries and specialist toy shops.
