Oh sheep!

These are my sheep and Lambs. 
I love the little curls on them.
I like how none of them really look like a sheep. 
I also like that the designer (Edward Mobley) gave most of them sweet little bows

These are the variants I have of "Tammy Lamby" 
Again the size varies so much. 
Some have wheels. 
Some have silly color combinations. 
All of them have pushed back ears that look as if they are ready to attack.

This is "Lucy Lamb"
made by the Sun Rubber Company 1961

"Lambkin" made by the Sun Rubber Company 1955
Each one is special in their own way. I love the colors of vinyl used.
I like the little differences between sun rubber company and Arrow Rubber and Plastics.
I havent seen very many sheep in my life,
but Im pretty sure that most of them don't have the angry eyebrows that each of these do.

who is J. L. Prescott?

J.L. Prescott was another rubber toy company in the 60's 
Edward Mobley had something to do with the company's design team
but that is all I have found out. 
The Designs are a bit like Arrow's toys just a little different. 
Still disproportioned, still Shuddersome, these 3 have won over my heart.
