| #2800 - Guided Missile Carrier - 1958-59 |
Complex. Intricate operational ability. Clever engineering. The Baker Electric #2800 Guided Missile
Carrier was a very fine toy. Many were made, but most soon lost their rockets and/or pallets.

The spring-loaded rocket body was designed to propel the "satellite" (actually a smaller rocket) into
the air. The large rocket never left the ground. "Satellite" reproductions are available today.

The bold decals give hint to the fact that Nylint freelanced a military application to what was in
actuality an industrial truck. The Missile Carrier is strictly a figment of Nylint's imagination. (See below.)

| #2800(?) - Baker Electric Traveloader - 1958-59(?) |
This is a more accurate representation of the real-life prototype Baker Industrial Traveloader. Very
few of these all-yellow versions exist today, and they are never shown in Nylint catalogs. They may
have been made only as Salesman Samples.

There was no rocket on this version but there
