Seller has a variety of trailers for sale. He lists four trailers below, but appears to have a David Bradley for sale that he doesn’t list below (which would be the fifth trailer).

“Custom 1988 Jeep CJ-6 Trailer

I bought this trailer 10 years ago and have used it all over Colorado especially in the San Juan’s.
It’s been over Yankee boy basin, Imogene Pass and many others without issue.
Hitch provides for Extreme Articulation, you can’t bind this one.
Perfect candidate for a pop up camper conversion.

Must need some work as it can’t be towed.

“1949 Jeep Trailer with tilt. Size 4 ft x 6 ft bed. Needs tires badly (cannot be towed currently).”

Cort wondered if anyone knows the manufacturer of this trailer. It appears to be a cross between a Ben Hur (the sides are Ben Hur-esque) and a Sterling Machine & Mfg trailer (note how the interior of the top rim slopes into the trailer).

From 1941-1945, the Ben Hur (G-518) trailer was built by numerous companies (according to this page), including American Bantam, Ben Hur, Century Boat Works, Checker, Dorsey, Gertenslager, Henney, Hercules Body, Highland Body & Trailer, Hobbs, Hyde, Mifflinburg Body, Naburs, Nash Kelvinator, Omaha Standard Body, Pke, Queen City, Redman, Steel Products, Strick, Transportation Equipment Corp, Truck Engineering Corporation, Willys Overland, Winter Weiss, Baker, Covered Wagon Co., Keystone, And Streich. When the war ended, some of the companies must have had extra trailer parts. My theory is that this could be an early prototype of the Sterling Machine trailer, but build from left over Ben Hur parts. After fiddling with designs and/or using up the leftover Ben Hur parts, maybe Sterling decided to make the trailer smaller (see the green example below).

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $250. It went quickly.

“The floor has some rusts along the front, but overall the trailer is solid and useable. It needs fenders, and a hitch and new tires. But it has its original Bantam tag, which looks to be SERIAL 2xx6. According to the owner I bought it from, it hasnt been registered in decades. No title. Bill of Sale only. Sold as-is. You’ll need to pick up with a truck (full-size bed) or a utility trailer.”

UPDATE:  **SOLD** Was $1500

A rare K-38.
