Nylint Construction Toys 2

At right is the elusive green and white Austin-Western Telescoping Crane. Only the 1959 Nylint catalog showed the crane in this color scheme. Upon close inspection I found that the metallic green paint job had actually been applied OVER the more familiar red. However, no yellow paint was found under the white boom color. A nice-looking but short-lived "upgrade." This toy was discontinued from the Nylint line-up by 1960.
