Up until a few years ago, I didn't realize how long Britains had been around. I only really knew about the farm and zoo stuff that I collected as a kid in the early 80's. Always hung on to it and dragged it all over the world, lost a few pieces along the way :( plus the bits that got broken then tossed in the bin. There is so much to collect I don't think you would ever have a complete collection of Britains. I generally try to pic pieces that appeal to me, I have mostly farm, but quite a lot of zoo, military, circus and ceremonial items also.
