Please help identify vintage small utility trailer
My wife and i bought this really neat little utility trailer to pull behind our 1996 Jeep Cherokee.
We believe it's from the 50's or 60's. It looks like some old Sears trailers we've seen online but this trailer has a logo on the body of it and on the sides of the topper with a snail logo on it and I think it said xcargo. Previous owners painted over it but you can still see it.
When I try to search for it online I can't find any references to this vintage trailer. It measures approx. 4 x 5, single axle, very light weight and the topper lifts up and is removeable. We're going to repaint the trailer and restore.
If you know what make - this is or anything about it, i'd really appreciate any info you can give me. i want to repaint the original logo with the original colors but can't find a picture of it. If you have a picture of this logo, or a link to a website with it, i'd really appreciate it. Thank you.

we used to have a rooftop cargo box with the same logo back in the 80's.. never seen a trailer tho. maybe someone made a trailer and re-purposed the cargo box lid?

thanks for the reply, but the logo is on the body of the little trailer as well as the removeable topper. The body logo is on the rear of each side panel near the tail light area which is why i believe it was made together as one unit.

interesting.. only reason i thought that was because we did something similar with ours. haha. we built a small 4x4 box trailer and slapped the cargo box on top.

Thanks for the replies. I did find out that it is indeed a Sears x-cargo camper trailer. I contacted the company and was lucky enough to find a nice man who sent me a couple of logos for the restore project. Can't wait to restore it back to it's original cool look.
