Rare pressed steel Nylint Model No.341-FW "Firestone Radial Express" Freightliner truck cab only! Circa 1984 model. 12.5" long.

Nylint was founded in 1937 in Rockford, Illinois, by Bernard Klint, brother Ragnar Klint, and their uncle, David Nyberg. They first produced kitchen utensils and later manufactured goods to support the military during World War II. In 1945, they changed course to toy production, focusing on steel-pressed trucks, construction vehicles, and other automobiles. The toys were a hot commodity for the next 55 years. Nylint, as a family business, was built on and prospered through the ideals of high quality in the toys kids would play with. Rags and Barney, two kids who still knew their family in Sweden and who didn’t speak a word of English on their first day of school, grew up to create a brand that embodied the 20th century American spirit and enabled the American dream for not just Nylint's customers but also its workers.
