The "quilted" aluminum side sheets were used by Trail-et years ago, even when the rest of the trailer was steel. I'm sure other manufacturers somewhere used that material, but I think that Trail-et was the first to combine aluminum and steel in a horse trailer. If the quilted sheets are steel, then this comment doesn't apply.

Hard to tell from the pics, but the patterned sides & square nose with 2 plexi windows looks a lot like a number of 1990/1/2 or so Sundowners. They had a 2H model like that with manger storage. Also Trail Magic models favored this style a lot. Both produced in SE Oklahoma.

The rolled steel side skins look like the material our old Glen L 2-horse was skinned in - we did a complete teardown of that one and rebuilt it completely from the frame out, it was a great little rig - just not big enuff for our bigger horses! It's still running great for the little gal who bought it to pull behind her half ton PU and fits her little arab mare just fine. :)You sure did a nice job of refurbishment.

To me it looks like a old Imperial trailer, about 1975. Most of the trailers I have seen in the midwest that had that quilted sides were Imperial. I tried to go in the archives to find a picture of an Imperial trailer, but they are not listed as a manufacture. Does anyone else remember Imperial trailers?
If it has torsion axles it would of been made after 1987, springs were used earlier.

First of all..GREAT job!!!
Second of all I agree with those who say WW. I just sold one that same style and probably close in age about two months ago. Sold it on ebay. Except mine was Black and like the condition you have it in now.

Kraig,
You did a nice job on the trailer! I bet your home owner's association just LOVE to see you park that trailer in front of your house! When we lived in a subdivision, my trailer would be in my drive way 30 minutes and we'd get a call from the subdivision "Nazi" reciting the restrictive covenents!
ID please
photos of inside...please!
