I am getting ready to begin the restoration on a WW2 Ben Hur (G51
trailer to pull behind my WC-51 Weapon Carrier and I thought I would take a chance and see anyone could help me. I am at a loss as to identifying the manufacturer since there are not data plates. It has USMC markings on the tub and based on some holes in the tub floor I believe it was used as a generator trailer at one time.
I tried to see if the spring shackles had unique marking but they do not. The only markings are the USMC number and a stamping on the A Frame of the tongue. I have attached a few photos to see if you may have any insight on identifying the manufacturer.
