Toy Made with Kenwood Blankets
Arnprior and District Museum Collection: 2018.18.01
Blankets and felts were not the only things coming out of Kenwood Mills. This red and white stuffed bull, made from blanket material, was affectionately known as “Wooly Bully”. It was given to Nancy Prentice Kerslake, whose father Walter Prentice was a mill employee.
Along with a small nose ring, bead eyes, and a plastic halter, the maker included a tiny Kenwood label showing the Ramscrest logo and “Kenwood Wool Products”, it was a miniature of those put on the blankets.
