Nice find!
Mansfield is probably an original tire. I have a few on some of my jeeps that do not get driven on the road. They seem to last forever.

Definitely a nice find. The TEC WS 02188 must be the Washington State organization that had owned the trailer before you? Can you post a lot of detailed photos on the Album page? Or email me some detailed photos of the entire trailer. It's so stock that I would like to use some of the photos for a ID'ng chart for Strick M100's.
Here's your Album:

Thanks.
Wes, though I live in Washington state, I picked up the trailer near Denver. I was heading out there to visit family anyhow and just towed it back behind the Tahoe. Price-wise, I didn't steal it, but I sure liked the original look, etc. It towed like a champ.
The original civvy owner got it in Colorado; he sold it to his buddy several yrs ago and I bought it from him. So as far as I know, it's been in CO since being surplused in the 70s or 80s. Therefore I'm sorta doubting the WS sticker identfies it as spending time in Washington state. I'd have guessed the sticker had a military look to it- muted colors and all. Perhaps if enough vets see it, someone will recgnize it from their service time.
I'll ship you some more pics; I'll get some detailed ones.
