I took a good look at the trailer today. It's a factory made trailer with a tubular axle and no brakes. The frame is about 2 inch square tube. It looks like something that might have been made in the late 30s or early 40s. It does look lightly built for militaty use.
The trailer came as susplus from the military base in Edmonton in about 1955. It was painted green at the time. I dug at the paint and the underlying green looks quite a bit "greener" than olive drab. The underside has patches of black paint but no O-D.
Would it have been possible that it was procured locally during the war for use on the base?
