You know how I told you that I have my favorites?  I truly do hold some items to the side, until I’m ready to part ways.  My potential hoarding tendencies may prove helpful this time!  As our locations are closed in compliance with our nation’s request to combat COVID-19;  Swatty Creek Mill is continuing to operate out of its online platforms, with some of these finds that I’ve been keeping to myself.  

Now to the Nylint truck… Whenever I see these little guys, I pick them up.  Nylint is the epitome of retro farm trucks; featuring a 1970s body style, spring-like green paint and farm decal on the door.  These trucks are great for planters or if you’re just looking to add a touch of color! 

If you don’t know anything about Nylint; the company began producing aluminum toys in the late 1930s.  This particular truck is from the 1970s, when the company transitioned away from the toy umbrella and began branding their aluminum trucks as collector’s items.
