Cherilea
Cherilea was started after WWII by Wilfred Cherrington and James Leaver, formerly designers for John Hill & Co. Based In Burnley and Blackpool, UK, Cherilea was initially concerned with producing hollow-cast lead figures, with plastic introduced from 1955 and metal phased out by 1961. Both military and civilian subjects were featured in the range, extending into plastic military vehicles and with a strong market in the US as well as the UK.
