A Britains scale Johillco bulldog and kennel with "Beware of Dog" sign to be sold in the General Sale on the 21st August.
Johillco (John Hill and Company) was a British toy company specialising in the manufacture of hollow cast metal and later plastic toys. This company ran a close second behind W. Britain in popularity and was started in 1898 by a former Britain employee F. H. Wood. The main difference between the two firms was that John Hill and Co. sold their figures individually leading to increased competition when Britain's followed suit.
