Nylint Farm Truck Appraisal

Vintage Nylint Ford Econoline Flatbed Farm Truck

This is a vintage pressed steel toy truck manufactured by the Nylint Corporation, specifically a flatbed model styled after a Ford Econoline cab. The vehicle features a vibrant lime green body with a contrasting white cab roof. On the doors, there are original decals for 'Nylint Farms' accented with yellow, orange, and red racing stripes. The truck is constructed with a heavy-duty pressed steel body, a plastic interior visible through clear windows, and large rubber-like tires featuring white lettering that reads 'NYLINT'. The front grill and bumper are finished in a chrome-style plastic. Condition-wise, the item shows moderate signs of play wear typical for its age, including paint chipping on the hood and edges of the flatbed, consistent with mid-1970s to early 1980s manufacturing. There is visible surface oxidation (patina) on the white roof and minor scuffing on the flatbed surface. The decals are mostly intact but show slight fading and edge wear. The wheels appear original and properly aligned, indicating the chassis remains structurally sound. This piece represents a classic era of American-made steel toys, known for their durability and realistic branding.
