I just acquired a 1/2-ton rated Swiss-made utility trailer (thanks Tom - I
think+ACE-)  Is there any collector interest in such a thing?  It has a lunnette-eye
hitch+ADs- 3' dia, six-lug tires+ADs- a 1' metal tilt-up wheel under the hitch, etc.,
and looks pretty much like the American v. of suchathing.

While the connector has been whacked off, I'm told the lights do work (I just
cobbled on external ones to drag it home), and the taillight lenses have been
changed to the US v.

It has the usual square-tube axle, so I could yank the original out and
retro-fit a conventional low-profile job to lower the tailgate height below 2',
but while the bed is 8' long, it's only 46+ACI- wide+ACE-  The Swiss must not use
'dimension' lumber ...

Comments and evaluations?    e
