M100 Bantam canvas top and frame. What's it worth?

Gentlemen, I recently traded an M1101 for a sweet bantam trailer I am going to use as a camp trailer. The Bantam came with this canvas top and a nicely built frame that mounts into round receivers welded into the corners of the bantam tub. My buddy thought it was a factory setup, but I don't think so. It's quality is such that it could be factory, but some of the welds don't look it to me. Anyway, I am not going to be keeping this setup and would like to find someone to pass it along to. I have no idea what would be a realistic price. Could I ask for some input from you all?
Cheers -James

I took a peak today for the stamped number but found nothing. It did come with this data plate that the previous owner swears came off the trailer.
either way, I'm not so concerned with the trailer as much as what you guys think I should expect as a fair price range for this canvas top and frame that may or may not be home built.

Only the post-war civvy trailers had the stake pockets. The top/frame set was sold as an accessory.
The stake pockets on this particular trailer were definitely added by someone. The big question is, is this top/frame set recognized as being home built or factory, and how much is it worth?
