Nylint Do It Best Home Improvement Semi Truck and Trailer New in Box
Nylint Do It Best Home Improvement Semi Truck and Trailer new in box. The truck's cab is made out of plastic and pressed steel. The trailer is all pressed steel. The side of the trailer reads DO IT BEST home improvement products, Best Quality, Best Value, Best Selection. The side and front of the cab reads DO IT BEST ALL ACROSS AMERICA. I purchased this example from the 'Do It Best', Roselle (Illinois) Lumber Company on Irving Park Road in the late 1990's. There is a special vertical Roselle Lumber magnetic business card attached to the front of the trailer. This almost qualifies as a private label toy, never removed from its original packaging. -
Nylint Milwaukee Tools Semi Truck and Trailer new in box, #345-Z. The truck's cab is made out of plastic and pressed steel. The trailer is all pressed steel. The tires are branded Firestone. Nylint Toys produced toy semi-truck toys with Firestone branded tires until a major safety recall of real tires prompted discontinued use. Nylint then replaced the Firestone script with their Nylint brand. Nylint Trucks with the Firestone script are now highly sought after because of the controversy surrounding the brand. Our offering comes from Uncle's private collection and is in mint, boxed condition. #345-Z is the designation for special markets. This truck was sold through Berland's House of Tools in Illinois.

Vintage Doepke Model Toys Euclid Bottom Dump Construction Vehicle
Vintage Doepke Model Toys (Rossmoyne, Ohio) Euclid Bottom Dump Construction Vehicle, in excellent original condition and procured from the original owner. This excellent condition toy has seen virtually no play action. The paint is nearly flawless and the only item that could be considered a drawback is the reproduction exhaust muffler that has been installed where it belongs. This toy, along with the two Smith Miller Aerial Ladder Fire Truck and Army Materials truck were owned by the same gentleman, who played with these toys very little, yet his parents hung onto them until he was an adult and he kept them all these years. Vintage Doepke Model Toys Company was known for making realistic, heavy construction vehicles that could have almost passed for salesman samples or trade stimulators, primarily because of their accurate sale and operable features. The Euclid Bottom dump is such a vehicle as the cab is fully articulated with steerable wheels and will bend and conform to the landscape when travelling. The dump bed can be loaded with soil and when the vehicle approaches the area for the soil to be dispersed, a lever on the side will dispense the soil exactly as the real machine would do. The Euclid Bottom Dump measures 27 1/2" in length, 7" wide and 7" tall. It is made of heavy gage pressed steel with rubber tires and exhaust. A perfect shelf display for that vintage, heavy construction equipment enthusiast on your shopping list!
