The Fourteen  Balls  Toy  Co.   travelling   show  is  a  collection  of   automata  produced by Matt Smith  and  Paul   Spooner  over  the  last eighteen  years  or  so . They  are  all  supplied 

 in  solid English  oak  display  cases  with   laminated   glass  on  all  sides . They  are  all motorised   and power  is  provided  by  batteries  in  the   base  which  provide  enough  power 

 for  about  six months  .  The  cases  are  all  self   contained  so  no  additional  wiring  is required   making  the setting  up  of  the  show  easy .  All  that   is  required  is  lighting  and  

plinths  for   the  display  cases .                                                                                                   

 full  details  are  available from  Matt    matt@fourteenballstoy.co.uk
