  • Britains estas entrepreno kiu fabrikas ludilojn inter kiuj famas ties metalaj mulditaj soldatludiloj, sed tiu entrepreno, kun fabriko en Londono, ankaŭ diversigis en aliaj asocisimilaj ludiloj kiel mulditaj zamakaj militistaj kamionoj kaj agrikulturaj veturiloj. La varomarko W. Britain de ludiloj kaj kolekteblaj soldatoj derivis el entrepreno fondita de William Britain Jr., nome brita fabrikanto de ludiloj, kiuj en 1893 inventis la procezon de fandomuldado en plumbo, kaj revoluciigis la produktadon de ludilsoldatoj. La entrepreno tuj iĝis la ĉefa industrio, kaj estis imitata de multaj aliaj entreprenoj, kiaj Hanks Bros. kaj John Hill and Co. (Gibbs 2009; Joplin 1996). La stilo kaj skalo de la figuroj de Britain iĝis la industria standardo por soldatludiloj dum multaj jaroj. (eo)
