Benbros (London) Ltd was a British toy company in existence from the late 1940s[1] to 1965.[2]
The company was founded by two brothers, Jack and Nathan Benenson,[1] the name, a contraction of "Benenson Brothers", was adopted in 1951[1] and the company was based at 145, Gosport Road, Walthamstow.[3]
Benbros produced:
- Die cast metal model cars and farm machinery under the names of "Qualitoys" and "T.V. Series" that came packed in a box that looked like a television set that were later retitled "Mighty Midgets".
- "Zebra Toys" that came in black and white striped boxes that were better quality models.[4]
- Hollow cast metal Robin Hood, cowboy and Indian figures[5] and toy soldiers.
Timpo Toys sold several of their moulds to Benbros, which can lead to collectors to having difficulty identifying which company made some figures.[6]
