LETTS PLAY Rocking Boat Toy Patrick Rylands Rosendale Boxed Vintage 1960s

Original vintage LETTS PLAY rocking boat toy designed by Patrick Rylands and produced by Rosendale. A fantastic piece of British mid-century toy design, featuring the iconic minimalist blue and cream wobble boat form complete with its original LETTS PLAY retail box.
