By far the most common version of the Nylint Payloader is Version #3, made from 1953 to 1955.
Many are still around today - but usually not in their original boxes!
Judging by the unadorned triangles on the toy and on the box, this particular example is probably a
1953 production item. Later triangles had lettering around the edges.
Nylint changed the color of the Payloader to light green in 1956. That was also the year Nylint began
using the black-on-yellow "banner" style decals.
A nice looking decal but definitely not a copy of
the prototype.
The bucket triangle decal now shows the added
perimeter lettering.
Except for Version #1 all other versions used the
black OPERATOR decal inside the bucket.
The yellow seat was a carry-over from 1955.
The 1957 box looks good with the graphic representation of the toy on front and ends.
