These are very difficult to find. For the moment he's been taken apart for restauration.
The chassis, wheels, and some other big parts have already been sandblasted and metalised. The wood is in rather good condition but needs a complete repaint.
Sadly i have decided to sell hem due to lack of time, and the garage where he's standing will be sold within a fue months.

Offers are welcome.

Perhaps someone would swap for an original Ben Hur trailer in good condition?

I'm curious as to the build date? Month and year?

Hello Harry,
there isn't an exact known data, but they have been produced in the beginning of WW2 to transport the typical canadian jerrycans (square ones).
I did found the original plate for the manual (SB5) on the rear of the chassis and a very small one with some numbers on the front of the wooden "box".
After WW2 some of these trailers went to the Nordic Army together with some F15's and F60's. This one probably came out Norway. As I know he comes out of the Diefenbach-collection, a very well known collector of Canadian vehicles in Belgium.

Is there really nobody interested?
I'm still open for offers...

...of course but the good items, like your trailer, are always across the BIG pond and Brian G. refuses to hide it in his suitcase when he goes over there.

Mine is all steel made May 1945. I'm missing the bifold floor that seperated the lower half from the upperhalf allowing 2 layers without stacking on the top of whatever they put on the bottom. It's next up on the project list.
