What is it? A mobile mechanic? A messenger service? Who knows? The Nylint #800 Servicycle was nonetheless a colorful and attractive early toy. Some say it might be copied from Japan products(?).
This handsome lad feels lucky to be the driver. Plastic windshield is missing on this example.
Looks very much like the contemporary Cushman scooter rear end.
Did the #900 Power Pony ever make it into production? I've never seen or heard of one. It must have been a very complex mechanical toy. A photo (probably a prototype) and further information can be found in the Literature section. If you have one, write me.
#1000 – Deliverall – 1949
The #1000 Deliverall was an obvious delivery scooter, popular in large industrial and material yards . Nylint’s version was not steerable (as was the #900 Servicycle). Again, a japanese influence(?).
Same head as above with slightly different lithography. Cheerful chaps!
The Cushman design influence is notice able in this profile shot of the engine compartment.
The plastic windshield is also missing on this example. You could haul a nice sized load here.
The same stamping was used for the back half of both the Servicycle and the Deliverall.
