Item Description
Original Item. Only One Available. This is a stupendous example of a NY-Lint Toys No. 2600 Missile Launcher. Sold during the 1950’s, this two-piece missile launcher truck would originally come with 3 sponge-nosed missiles which are now unfortunately absent. We have found a period advertisement online for this toy that truly captures its cool factor!
“All-Mechanical! Heavy, pivoted, steerable two-part mobile unit. Launcher mount swivels 360 degrees, barrel is raised and lowered by handwheel, fired by button on housing. Slip clutch prevents breakage. Radar screen rotates. Three HARMLESS, sponge-nosed missiles in clip. Range up to 60 feet! Big 3¾” rubber tire wheels. A huge toy, 31½” long, 18⅜” high with barrel elevated.”
The front piece, the truck, has a Naval Defense seal on both doors, with Coastal Unit on both sides of the front bumper. The unit’s dimensions are as the advertisement says. One of the two headlights is missing its small yellow piece, and the Coastal Unit on one side is partially gone. The blue paint is still about 85% retained. The back half is fully functional, still pulls back ready to fire, it would not be hard to find a placeholder for the missiles!
A very rare piece that does not come up often together like this. Don’t miss it!
