The toy makers...

William Britains:  Follow this link!

John Hill & Co was started in 1898 by a former employee of William Britains named F. H Wood.  In contrast to Britains, Johillco was the first British company to offer their figures individually, not just in sets.
Their figures were well made but painted less ornately than Britains.

Johillco also manufactured many Coronation sets related items.
Originally located on Britannia Row in London, the firm was bombed in WWII and rebuilt afterwards on Plumbe Street, Birmingham.
Johillco's chief figure designer Wilfred Cherrington in conjunction with a Mr Leaver started his own toy company called Cherilea.

Sold less expensivelly and being somewhat more individuallized, JoHill Co figures were more working-class than the expensive and rigid posed Britains.
Johillco was slow to introduce plastic production and began only in 1956 under the name Hilco.  The company went out of business in the early 1960s.

Heyde George Heyde started his company in 1872 in Dresden closing it doors in the early 1940's. Mainly the range was to a scale of 48mm
