I'm not sure what it is but the top photo looks like it's screaming in pain.

Looks like a trailer that needs a $400 door latch, and $2500 in skin, and serious wood framing repairs, and
You looking at well over $10K in "parts cost" to rebuild that trailer.
Note, a wet, eight foot 2 by 4 is now in the $9 range at HD, cost of materials is out of control. It's going to impact our hobby.

Wow. Poor thing.
It looks like an late 50s/early 60s Shasta wannabe. Unfortunately, it looks as if a lot of the original parts are missing. A lot of money to fix this one...

It cost over $200 LOL, How about some good news this morning? Since my Home Depot has begun to cut their inventory product selection, they no longer stock the 3/4" Styrofoam I use in my builds. So I went a few more miles away to Lowes and purchased 14 sheets of 3/4" foam. Surprisingly to me they were still under $10/ sheet. The price was actually $8.98 per sheet, only about a buck increase. I'm certain that all of the problems were have been having lately are causing the price increases, and the product shortages in the stores. In my lifetime, I cannot think of when we had a Pandemic, Millions of acres being burned, thousands of houses burnt every year, and what's with the Hurricanes that come in each week? John

Thanks for the replies. Still would like someone to guess what brand or model this wreck might be. the only numbers and letter on curbside of tongue say COS 66 It is listed twice on tongue. The door latch has been glass beaded by a friend and works with the key. no charge

There were a lot of Shasta wannabees made in the early 60s. It's almost impossible for us to guess what it is because many original parts are missing inside. I believe Nomad made a knockoff and there are others...

Shasta quit making this style ham in ‘64. Everything after that is a toaster. Aside from that, the skin doesn’t look like one’s Ive seen on other Shasta hams. They had 6” breaks.
