I was wondering if that was the fact after seeing the Lakewood ad above.
<div class="ubbcode-block"><div class="ubbcode-header">Originally Posted By: whitetop</div><div class="ubbcode-body">NMW never made the tow bars. They just bought them and added their decals.
The Lakewood bars were identical.
I have a Napa trailer catalog from the mid 70's with the identical bar sold under the Napa Balkamp label.
Not sure who made the original bars. </div></div>
