Everson Mouldings Ltd. was incorporated in 1947, and in August 1948 Games & Toys mentioned a new company L.Brooks(Toys) Ltd. "to acquire the business of L.Brooks & Co. carried on by Alfred & Lottie Brooks at 85 Holmleigh Road N16, manufacturers, importers, exporters of toys, etc." In the street directories for 1949 and 1950, both companies were listed at 14C Vartry Road, South Tottenham, N15, and there seems little doubt that "Eebee Toys" were made by Everson & Brooks working together. In the 1951 street directory, Everson Mouldings Ltd. were at 187 Hackney Road, E2, while L.Brooks (Toys) Ltd. were at 169 Hackney Road, but by December 1952, Everson Mouldings was in receivership, probably due to the ban on the use of zinc for toy production (March 1951 to May 1952).
Alwyn Brice shows a few in his article and mentions they were around 1/76 scale. Could be labeled Agasee or Salco as well. (Model Collector, June 2024, p61)
