Re: Wonder co dumper
A quick Google of the Wonder Mixer Co indicates iowa, USA. I "wonder" if there was a connection, perhaps license to build?

Re: Wonder co dumper
Could well be, ending with 'CO' indicates an American firm. Its an odd looking thing, maybe designed to carry concrete?

Re: Wonder co dumper
Apparently the company started in as the Waterloo Cement Machinery Corp in Iowa, and changed their name to Construction Machinery Corporation. They made woodworking machines, pumps and the Wonder Concrete Mixer Co machines. Still have no idea why the badge has Stanton, Suffolk England on it, maybe there was a UK dealer there?

Re: Wonder co dumper
This dumper has now joined my collection here in Ireland. Any more ideas on its history or year of manufacture?
