Britains History

William Britain established the company 1893 by to produce model military figures, which became Britains Limited in 1907.

The first range of farm figures and animals was released in 1921, and have continued to produce scale farm models since only pausing 1941 - 1946 when the factory was converted for the needs of the war effort.

1993 was Britians centenary year, and they produced many special editions.

ERTL purchased Britians in 1997 to become the 'largest farm toy manufacturer in the world'. ERTL were subsequently purchased by Racing Champions, who have continued to invest in the Britains range.
