Britains Models


Some downright nostalgia here - Britains catalogues from the late 60s, or in other words my childhood. Britains made model soldiers from about 1893, and diversified later on, especially into farm animals & machinery, and zoo animals. If interested, a bit more detail on James Opie. I think they were recently taken over by another company, but I can't find the info on the Web. Britains as we knew them no longer appears to exist.

Britains models - farm range from 1968.

Britains zoo models 1968. The chimps tea party was particularly fun!
