What is this?

[Mach Style]

Picked this up from a customers house a few days ago. Looks to be an air force trailer to move bombs or aircraft fuel tanks around. Has a hand break at the rear with two drums. Both were seized so I ended up removing the shoes for now. Anyone know what exactly this is and if it might be worth something if I don't choose to keep it?

Has markings "Prototype Development Cleveland 3854" Stamped on the tongue and TT21 painted on the side of the frame.

It looks very similar to an old Telephone Pole Hauler that my neighbor has except yours has much smaller tires. Your probably correct in that it was used to transport bombs to the runway.

This is the closest type I could find.

I though about that but with the small tires and the large holders, I dont think it was for telephone poles. Could still be used as such

I know what it is. I can't remember the name of equipment but it's for a practice bomb holder. We used something similar for the F-16. It help 8 bomblets. It's was kind of flat with a little round kind of tube. Not round like a bomb or a fuel tank. The jammer could lift it straight off of.
