This looks earlier than the Mullens trailer to me. It looks like the "A" is new.
Note the R/H tail-light on both the car and trailer.

Nice photo. I'd say circa 1980 based on the 'modern' trunk and MAFCA sticker on the back window.

I missed that sticker, if that is what it is.
He had better get some safty chains. I'm sure they were mandatory in 1980 !

You are right. I looked up "Ozzie Sweet Photography" He was born in 1918, which would have made him eleven years old in 1929. He just recently died at age 94, His wife said that his favorite subjects were, "Sports, automobiles and women".

I have a color version of that photo that was in a calendar a friend gave me in 1998. The town sedan is dawn grey with matching trailer!
Would look fine behind my t/s.

This is some of my research on the Mullins trailer. The original Mullins has a tail gate and artillery wheels.
