Version #3 – 1953-55
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.
Version #4 – 1956-58
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.
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.
