Its Elliots carrier
I'm 99% certain this is the Elliot Bros. carrier in Newtonville. It is as described, and best of all has all the early features like the crowbar on the front and the nice big brass I.D. plate on the right fender. The Elliots have a large collection of CMP and other neat stuff inside, but as they've sold off the Otter and Fox recently (and now the carrier) I guess the time to sell has finally arrived. Those of us in Ontario have speculated for years what would happen when it did...either a big auction, a mass sale to one owner or piece by piece.
(what's left? 12 and 13 cab Ford gun tractors, 13 cab 15cwt Chev, a 15cwt Chev training chassis, 12 cab 8cwt Chev...DUKW?)
