The Fourteen Balls Toy Co.
began in June 1986 and has been
making automata ever since.
The company consists
of Matt Smith who Designs and makes all the automata and
Sarah Smith who has been doing the bulk of the painting for the
past few years . Sarah is now training to become a
silversmith so much of the painting is now also done by me ( Matt ).
Paul Spooner who designed a lot of the early
Fourteen Balls automata has not been involved since 2003 , all designs since
then have been designed and made by by Matt Smith .
A list of the automata
produced is on the next two pages and
from there you can link onto a detailed
description with photographs of each of the models . The Models are
listed in chronological order and
provide a history in themselves .
NB. I try to be as accurate as I can
with numbers but The numbers of each model produced may need updating in some cases
.
