Bikes for bike safety night at Young Marines ....my boy wanted to ride back there .... But... To his dismay I said no :)

He's a good little helper

Cool!
Is that a Ben Hur trailer? I've got one nearly identical...except in the color called "rust". Guy I got it from told me its probably from late 40s.
 
the trailers are all from the same mold as they say :)

see this link>>>> http://www.earlycj5.net/forums/showthread.php?74865-The-Sears-David-Bradley-Trailer

Awesome link!! Based on that info mine looks same as sears catalogue 1947 David-Bradley, but I can just barely discern a "BEN H" on the tailgate. 16" rims with 6.00 r16 tires (Mobil Tire brand, originals?!!), round axle, single-side tailgate hinges, screw coupler, improved tow bar, roadster fenders. Can't figure out how to post a photo from iPhone...there's a pic on page 5 loaded with some kayaks.

An awesome piece of history still in use today!!
 
Forgot to get a picture, but had a full-size fridge layed up on the side inside the covered trailer. Couldn't even notice it was in there.

I was considering selling my M101, but I use the damn thing so often these days I don't know what I'd do without it!
 
Always good to have a trailer around. Can go months without using it then all of sudden you can't live with out it. I have got to get going on my 416. It's still in a hundred pieces in the garage.
