| Toy Boats Sam Smith, A.K.A. "Alan V." 1945-1950 The Victoria & Albert Museum |
Here we see a “fleet” of six toy boats that were made in Britain during the period of 1945-1950. Among them is a barge called “Olive.” These beautiful toys are the work of one Sam Smith. Smith, for a short period of time in the 1940’s signed his work “Alan V.” He did this initially after opening his workshop, but ceased to use the signature later.
The boats are made of painted and varnished wood with attachments of string and paper.
