I’m not sure any of this was ever military, but I could see that being handy for someone.

“Enclosed military jeep trailer. Removable sides and back, good for small business, instruments, flea market and craft items, camping or hunting dogs. 15 inch wheels, 2 inch ball. 4 X 6 with shelves in the front 9” deep.”

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was on eBay.

I don’t know much about these trailers.

” This is a US Navy Military World War 2 Trailer built by Couse Labs for the US Navy. Its hard to read the date plate. It says Spares Trailer, Type CAHT-10284, Department of Ships. Serial number 211 I think. There is a picture of the date plate. We have only seen one restored online, its the only other one we were able to find. I believe its got one “combat rim” on it and one M38A1.Will help load her onto a truck if needed. There is another Combat Rim that will go with her (pictured). The last picture is of a Couse Labs built US Navy Trailer restored.”

I don’t know anything about these, but thought some of you would find it interesting.

“This is a 1944 Omaha Industries M3A4 Hand Cart. Omaha only made around 3600 M3A4’s, making this one of the rarer manufacturers to find.

This cart is very complete- it is only missing the draw bar, as most ones that get found are, and the cover and tow ropes. All these are available as reproductions.

The body is straight and is “barn fresh”, with only light surface rust. A quick clean up and some paint and it will look great. All the proper hardware appears to be there and it looks to be in good shape.

The wheels are intact and the original military marked tires are there. The tires do have damage, but a skilled person may very well to able save them since they are tube type. The damage on both is to the inside so they could be good display tires. In addition I am including a brand new pair of Carlisle tires that are the closest tires available to one of the styles used in WWII, these tires are $100+ alone. This gives the restorer an option of what tires to use.

The original and very hard to find bearing covers are not installed, but are included.”

The seller selling the Navy trailer is also selling this one.

” This is basically a barn find. Its Original and in need or a restoration. Its an American Bantam Cab Company built USMC 1/4 Ton World War 2 trailer. The original data plate with the original serial number is still on it. Serial Number is 65108. Date of delivery is 3-1-45. There is a “combat rim” that goes with it. As you can see by the picture the rim needs work! Personally I think its a great project for someone to enjoy.”

Anyone recognize this harness?

“We found this while cleaning out my fathers estate. I believe it MAY be a wiring harness but I am not to sure. The condition is as you see it pictured. This device was not, will not and cannot be tested as I wouldn’t have the foggiest idea on how to do so. The cord as well as the rest of the attachments are very HEAVY!  Due to the nature of this auction and my blatant lack of knowledge of these kinds of artifacts in general, I have started the bidding low with no reserve. This apparatus is being offered on an as-is and/or as-found basis. If however you should have any questions, please do not hesitate to ask as I will do my best to answer them to the best of my ability.”

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $350.

Walter spotted this trailer.  It looks like a good price for a rustfree trailer.

“Jeep trailer for sale. 1948 1/4 ton with Pentle hitch, park brake, no rust, good tires with spare. Asking $350.00 firm”

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was on eBay

This needs some work, but looks restorable.

“The Trailer, Dump, 2 Wheel, 1/2 Ton Airborne was manufactured during WW II by Converto Manufacturing Company. It was designed for use with jeeps and light trucks for hauling tools, equipment, and other supplies in support of Airborne Engineer operations. This trailer was distinguished by having the ability to tilt and dump its contents (for example, sand or dirt) through a rear tailgate.

The single axle, two wheel, all-steel trailer was rated for a 1/2 ton payload. It had a military-standard lunette eye for attachment to a pintle hook on the towing vehicle. A landing leg (stanchion) is provided to hold the trailer level when not attached to a towing vehicle. For dumping, two levers are operated either by a helper at the trailer or via a rope pull from the driver or passenger position in the towing vehicle. One lever (Tailgate Trip) unlocks the tailgate and the other (Dump Release) activates raising the body to the dumping angle. A body lock, when engaged, prevents the trailer from dumping.”

This is a no reserve auction.
