Wooden Ben Hur
Posted: Wed Dec 01, 2010 12:50 pm
I've just added a wooden ben hur to the collection. It is in pretty good shape, other than the draw bar needs to be straightened (which is no big job, just need to dis assemble it). My question is about the landing leg. This one, is very much like a jeep trailer leg, and is well made if it is a fab job. I don't know much about ben hurs, but is this likely to be original? If not, has anyone got the wheel and arm assembly going spare? Also, there are no data plates on this trailer, how can i tell if it is WW2 manufacture and where should the plates go (if i can find some or repro ones)? WOudl there be any tell tale signs on the trailer to indicate an approximate year of manufacture?
