Benbros (London) Ltd was a British toy company in existence from 1953 to 1965.

The company was founded by two brothers, Jack and Nathan Beneson, the name a contraction of "Beneson Brothers" and were based at 145 Gosport Road Walthamstow.

Benbros produced-

  • Die cast metal model cars and farm machinery under the names of "Qualitoys" and "T.V. Series" that came packed in a box that looked like a television set that were later retitled "Mighty Midgets".
  • "Zebra Toys" that came in black and white striped boxes that were better quality models.
  • Hollow cast metal Robin Hood, cowboy and Indian figures. and toy soldiers

    • Timpo Toys sold several of their moulds to Benbros that leads many collectors to have difficulty identifying which company made some figures.
