 In the late-1940s and early-1950s, Nylint remained committed to wind-up toys and soon produced a front-end loader wind-up which resembled a forklift.They then designed and built a couple of motorcycle tin wind-ups, a street sweeper wind-up (resembling an Elgin machine) and a wind-up that resembled a popular TV icon -- Howdy Doody -- although Nylint never used the name to advertise the toy.The Elgin Street Sweeper demonstrated the success of toys patterned after real-life vehicles.
