Great. I "looked" but must not have looked well enough. ;-) That should take
care of the situation. Thanks for letting us know.

It looks like it is based on this livestock trailer:

http://www.roosemfg.com/livestock/hog.html

"Roose Manufacturing Company is now in its 36th year of
business. During the past years, we have been in the
business of building quality agricultural, utility, and
industrial trailers for handling, cable, and innerduct
reels."

Well it does have the Roose name on it and the seller did
mention contacting the manufacturer who dated it and confirmed it
as custom made. Like I said, where did the "homemade" come from
Iggy?
