Nylint #2000 Speed Swing
The toy was almost as versatile as the real
machine it represented. The Speed Swing,
produced by Nylint from 1955 through 1958,
could perform amazing acrobatic movements - if
you were able to master the somewhat complex
control levers.
Only two versions were produced - orange and
yellow. The only difference, besides color, was a
slight change in the side decal, as illustrated
below.
