Would this limber have been made in Canada? ww2 limber R & W Co Ltd 1943 number 29108 and tires made in Canada. I have now bought the limber. One more saved.

Most of the Canadian limbers I have seen were F&W (Frost and Wood) who also made the 36M grenade in great quantity.

Nice find, great to see one more saved.
Is it marked R&W or F&W? As Rob said, Frost & Wood Company "was one of the largest manufacturers of farm implements in Canada. They were the largest munitions manufacturer in Eastern Ontario, producing hundreds of thousands of hand grenades and artillery shells." R&W may refer to R. and W. Hawthorn, Leslie and Company of St. Peter's, Newcastle-upon-Tyne (usually referred to as Hawthorn Leslie), a shipbuilding and locomotive manufacturer?

The last Canadian limber I had was built by Richardson Road Machinery and had slight variations on the steel fabrication.
