Made in England William Britain Senior began his career as a 'Brass Cock Maker', and by 1880 had a broadsheet catalogue listing and illustrating a number of clockwork novelties such as TheMechanical Foot Race, The Mechanical Dog, The Mechanical Bear, Don Quixote and the Windmill and The Equestrienne. The catalogue also included a couple of wheeled road-rollers of different sizes, which Britains were keen to point out were "... made of solid castings, and not stamped tin, like most of the foreign rubbish that is now sold" (!).
Britains' enthusiasm for casting paid off, and in ~1893 the company started producing the toy soldiers that would make William Britain a household name, using the hollowcasting process.
Despite the fact that imports from Germany dominated the toy market, Britains continued to grow, with production only slowing/stopping during the First and Second World Wars.
