The Fun Ho! Story started in 1935 when Jack Underwood began making toys in the basement of his home as a hobby.The Fun Ho! workshop has seen an increasing demand for reproduction Fun Ho! toys, which are cast at the museum. These handmade models are produced using the original moulding plates and boxes.
