Oldie lil utility trailer saved from scrapper

This was an exciting save for me today. Anybody know the maker of this style?? I've yet to research it. Pretty rough but on par with what I typically drag into the shop.

 

That's a coal hopper from a coal furnace made into a trailer ...

 

Hmmm.... ?? I doubt that... but we will see.

 

Very cool

 

Make sure you share the inprocess and after shots, that is cool. It might benefit from a longer tongue.

 

Ha..ha...shots....may need a booster. Yesser...a long tongue is handy on occasion.

 

That trailer was made to bolt on to the rear bumper of a car. Notice the swivel wheels.

 

It does kind of look like a coal skuttle(?) box. I bought a brand new one from a grage sale at an OLD house years ago, had a tear drop shape and a '37 Ford door handle on the hatch. Was gonna make a small trailer but it ended up on the scrap pile at work. Kept the handle though...never have I seen another one, shoulda kep-it...Mitch

 

These are old coal stokers, they look similar. Could be one? I bet there's an old Popular Mechanics issue that has an article on how to make a trailer from one.

 

Flyin-t , thanks , the one I had was"exactly like the green one only red" Mitch

 

I'll admit I do see a strong similarity there.
