Thank you for the photo of your Holland and England brand trailer.

Usually the trailer manufacturer's name, model number, weight capacity and vehicle identification number (VIN) will be on the same placard or plate. This plate is often mounted on a frame rail or other accessible point near the trailer's tongue. Other times it may be placed near or on one of the axles.

There is no absolute rule as to where this information will be located so you'll need to inspect the trailer frame starting at the tongue area and moving rearward.
