Charbens was founded in 1929 by 2 brothers – Charles and Benjamin Reid. They began by making lead toys but changed to mazac after the second world war. The models were generally very primitive and fragile compared to those produced by other manufacturers at the time. The company’s main business was lead figures but they also produced a range of vehicles. Charbens ceased making diecast toys in 1967.
