Rose Trailerette
The Rose Trailerette was manufactured by Frank Rose Mfg. of Hastings, NE in the 1930’s and early 1940’s. Many were sold by mail order via the Montgomery Wards Catalog. Production of this trailer was discontinued when the plant switched over for war production during World War 2. The early Trailerette featured a single caster wheel. Model A hardware was used for the door handle and tail lights. The original hitches were U shaped and attached directly to the rear bumper of the tow vehicle. Some later models featured a plastic bubble style cover.
