Knights of Avalon

 

Benbros toy figures. 

Benbros Toys were produced from 1951-1965. Started by Nathan and Jack Benninson 

Their toy knight output was limited to just a single figure of a knight in full Armour standing to attention with a spear. cherilea also issue this figure.
Their 1953 Benbros Robin Hood  series makes up for their lack of knights it is a nice set of figures featuring  a name from England's period of the Crusades and Richard the Lionheart.

 

Some of the figures are quite rare and can prove to be a collecting challenge.
