Pressed steel toys by the Nylint (later Nylint) Tool and Manufacturing Company of Rockford, Illinois are considered by many as among the best American toys ever manufactured. Their line included literally hundreds of models of construction equipment, trucks, and cars. Especially during the 1950’s and 60’s, Nylint toys were often faithful replicas of real pieces of machinery and automobiles made by leading US manufacturers. In fact, many people are of the opinion that Nylint’s toy Ford Econolines and their FSeries Ford trucks were actually better styled than their real-life counterparts!
Nylint Uhaul truck we brought back from the dead for a customer. He had it since he was a boy, and painted it several times over the years. Everything is original, even windshield.
