It's an Allstate one wheel trailer, sold by Sears and Robuck, 40s,50s, and 60s.  Went to HUGE auction in Grandville on sat the 1st, and bought ANOTHER Allstate trailer!!! This one is older, rougher, and wooden. Seen Dave there, not many VW items. I also bought four Honda CT 70s and one Ct 90. Rough and cheap the way I like it. |

Took the one wheel trailer on vacation with us last week, Tia used all the hauling area inside Jeep, so we had to haul most everything in trailer. Over 1700 miles no issues with trailer or Jeep. ;D ;D

Not trying to high-jack this, but would anyone be interested in an Allstate trailer frame that is restored and has an upright storage dolly.

Bought a sheet of aluminum diamond plate at White Pigeon and had a local metal shop cut to size and put 90 degree bend on each end. Then hand formed the aluminum to the frame.  |
