L is for Lolloping Leo the Laminated, Layered, Log Lion!

Probably a wartime or immediate post-war toy from someone like (but not necessarily or actually-) Forest Toys. It could even be home-made; following fret-plans from Hobbies Annual (?), either as a one-off, or a small-scale commercial venture.

The lion is a laminate of three main 'layers' with a central fret giving the nose and tail and then two carved blocks attached to either side giving the body and legs, while two further, minor additions sculpt the lion's outer-mane, either-side - like mines on a mini-sub!
