Pony trailers
102 Rice Pony Trailer
January 1958 - 1968
Available in several colours:
cream on a red chassis (with or without ramp handle)
bright red on a black chassis (with or without ramp handle) with wire drawbar
darker red on a black chassis with solid drawbar
brown and cream on a silver chassis with solid drawbar (in Gift Set 2 only)
None of these has suspension.
Late red editions have fixed shaped wheels - but red trailers with the old wire drawbar are also known with shaped wheels.
Brown and cream models have either fixed or, mostly, free-spinning shaped wheels.
I am grateful to Herr Andi Richter for spotting the different shades of red and also noting that the later solid drawbar includes a longer and fatter pin which enables it to stand level without a load, whereas the early wire drawbar edition would tend to tilt forward when stood alone.
