Vintage Wood Hand Carved/Painted Cat Carousel by Susan Wynter

U.K

Handcrafted Susan wanted to be a

boy to learn how to carve wood at a billiard table factory near her home in London. She was a flight mechanic during the Second World War, going on to engineering college, before moving to St Ives to fulfil her dream of making toys. When she later sold the factory to Galt Toys, they took on three men to do her job. Susan ignored conventional gender roles and used her unique skills and creativity to create a successful career and business in Cornwall.
