Soon afterwards, they made a couple of motorcycle tin wind-ups, a street sweeper wind-up (resembling the actual Elgin machine) and a wind-up that resembled a popular TV icon -- Howdy Doody -- although Nylint never used the name to advertise the toy.

In the immediate years to follow, through the mid-1960s, Nylint produced toys patterned after manufacturers such as LeTourneau, the J.D. Adams & Company of Indianapolis, the Frank G. Hough Company of Libertyville, Illinois, the Pettibone-Mulliken Corp. of Chicago, the Austin-Western Works of Aurora, Illinois, and the Clark Equipment Company of Benton Harbor, Michigan.

Others, including Tru-Scale, All-American, and Ertl, would later join the ranks of toy truck producers.
