To reach the top would be too ambitious. The same for Jumping Blackbird. Whirly Fish: The whirly fish is one of a number of toys of its type designed and made by Robert Race. Its teeth and fin give it a shark-like look. The shaft through the body with its paper propeller at the rear revolves as the fish is whirled on the end of the cotton thread attached to a 39cm painted wooden stick. This whirly fish and No.506 were experimental prototypes. The fish’s body is made from a yoghurt bottle. Invitation autumn oak leaf: This was Robert Race’s invitation to an exhibition of his work at the Quaker Gallery in 1994. Although not a toy in itself it is a neat bauble with the characteristics of a plaything. The leaf inscribed ‘Robert Race Moving toys & Automata Quaker Gallery’ and on reverse ‘Preview Mon 3rd Jan 6.00-8.0 pm Please come’.Reindeer: For many years Robert Race and his wife Thalia have sent Christmas and New Year greetings to their friends in the form of small toys made by him. This is the 2010/11 greeting. Shaking the rod causes the reindeer to leap forwards and settle backwards as if it is making a real effort to run.

Neil Hardy, Blue elephant, a hand-operated automaton, wood, painted wood, plywood, wire, nylon, bearing label to underside Neil Hardy Fabulous Animals. These toys are not suitable for children., approx. 15.5cm high, 13.3cm wide, 4.6cm deep; together with two others by the same artist, comprising: Shy Tortoises, a hand-operated automaton, wood, painted wood or composition, wire, nylon, signed and dated Neil Hardy 98, approx. 12cm high, 15cm wide, 7.3cm deep; and Carnivorous Sheep, a hand-operated automaton, wood, painted wood, wool, wire, brass, signed and dated Neil Hardy 95, approx. 14cm high, 14.5cm wide, 7cm deep (3)Sir Nicholas Goodison noted:Blue Elephant: Elephants are not normally blue, but this one gets easily frightened. The simple movement raises the mouse above the surface, whereupon the elephant, with frightened eyes and well developed tusks, lifts his whole body (which is pulled up by an almost invisible nylon thread concealed behind the trunk) off the ground, standing on his trunk. The inscription reads The Rarely seen Blue Elephant defends itself from its arch enemy the mouse. This is one of Neil Hardys Fabulous Animals. Neil Hardy trained and worked as an architect until the early 1990s. Inspired by Cabaret Mechanical Theatre, he turned to automata making for family and friends, making a full-time job of it in 1992. He has made a theme of evolutionary, and of endangered species and conservation of the environment blunders in his Fabulous Animals seriesShy Tortoises: The two tortoises stick out their long necks as the single cam presses down the sprung wire that draws the heads together by increasing tension on nylon connecting threads. Then, when they touch each other, they spring back into their shells as cam trips the wire and releases the tension. The stick-on paper is inscribed The painfully shy Pink Tortoises slowly get to know each other better.Carnivorous sheep: The sheepdog crouches, panting as he watches the docile sheep after a bit of active herding. Much to his surprise, the sheep turns out to have the head of a much more fearsome creature with sharp teeth, and the dog falls over backwards in astonishment and fear. The movement is a cam and lever mechanism. The inscription reads Though always keen and eager the sheepdog never really got the hang of herding carnivorous sheep.Provenance:Blue Elephant: Purchased, Frivoli, Chiswick, London, June 1993.Shy Tortoises: Purchased, Hitchcocks, Bath, October 1998.Carnivorous Sheep: Purchased, Neil Hardy, Wimbledon, London, at Crafts Fair, Chelsea.Note: Neil Hardy worked as an architect for 13 years before becoming an automatist.His creations have been exhibited internationally, including in Japan, Australia, and Germany.His work is imbued with a sense of fun and whimsy, and he always uses animals to create amusing sculpture.Roseberys do not guarantee the working order of any automata or toy.

He looks contented and has a good row of teeth.Flying caravan Anon: The pilot looks more airworthy than his craft, which is well equipped with the necessities of a life on wheels. When the string is pulled the caravan dances up and down on the flexible spring, its flippers behaving like wings, the paddles rotating. Most would say it is a gimcrack way to fly, but as long as it is attached to the ceiling, fly it does.Money Box: The bank teller stamps the paying-in book as the coin, inserted in the slot on the floor in front of his counter, falls into the box (helped on its way by a notched roller). It is all before the time of ATMs but is a form of automation. The bank clerk keeps a wary eye out for crime and turns his watchful head from right to left as he does the stamping. This is a bank you can trust, especially in Mexico.Provenance:Watermelon Eater: Purchased, Cabaret Mechanical Theatre, London, December 2002. Exhibited, Out of the Box, Air Gallery, London, December 2002.Flying Caravan: Gift, 1995.Money Box, Purchased, Frivoli, Chiswick, London, May 1999.Roseberys do not guarantee the working order of any automata or toy.
