Thank you Mike. The darker Green Trailer is of inferior quality and while the Black wheels look familiar, I don't recognize the model, but there are more informed members on the forum who may know it.

The other reminds me of a Tootsie Toy with those black wheels, but they were usually marked on the bottom. Maybe it's also English?

Hello,
The one one the left looks really close to my Wardie Wee World K47 trailer. I think these were used in train layouts and if I recall, the tractor from this K47 set is similar to the tractor in an Aristo Craft HO Tracksiders set I have. The Wardie trailer has "British Made" on the bottom but I don't see any marking on yours. Also below is a Wardie K-59 Private Garage that I just got a few weeks ago.

Thanks for your contribution mboxmike.

The toys marketed by 'WARDIE' were made for him (B.J.Ward Ltd), by other companies, in particular KEMLOW and one of the toys is in deed a farm tractor and trailer in about 1/60ish scale. There appear to be several titles under which toys were being marketed such as...'A Wardie Product', 'Wardie Toys' and the 'Wardie Wee World' as mentioned by "mboxmike".

It is common practice to find virtually the same toys with 'Brand' names or 'Logos' or nothing at all and usually the ones without anything are destined to be sold through wholesalers and they often put a trade name on packaging, but of course not the toy.

The farm trailer on the Left in Mikes picture does look like the 'Wardie Wee World' version and could be one destined for a wholesale outlet.

Mike, I think you already have the correct tractor to go with your trailer?.
