Egg History- Boler descendants

[moore (abitibi)]

Pierre Bélanger last year told me that the origin of the 1650 that Earlton
produced was from the Amerigo mold

I have to catch up with Charly at the (still working there) Earlton Camping
Center to have a discussion on the 1650 Charly used to mold the mat in the gel coated steel mold in the production line

Charly told Jean Louis Audet ( an 1650 owner ) that they produced only 8
Boler 1650

Diane and I own a 1650 square : manufacture june 1980 sold has a 1981

Adding a bit of info I found last night. Filbert V. posted pictures of their 1972 Tote n'Tarry showing that it was made by Fiber Stress Incorporated, Petaluma California.



California Records give the following:
Entity Name: FIBER STRESS INCORPORATED
Entity Number: C0643186
Date Filed: 01/12/1972
Status: SUSPENDED
Jurisdiction: CALIFORNIA
Entity Address: 150 LAKEVILLE STREET
Entity City, State, Zip: PETALUMA CA 94952

January 12, 1972 puts this start at about the same time as the boler American was starting in the USA. Records indicate that Evelands had a loan approved 3 weeks prior.

Google mapping the various locations of this and the boler American shows direct links with highways to all.

Filbert, who's been a member for about five years... is only the seventh member (that I can remember) who owns a Tote 'n Tarry. Cool orphaned trailer

1972 - boler American produced (1972- ??) (3 plants)
1977 -1978 17' Earlton boler told they used western molds?
1979 - Calgary introduced a 17' version not as popular as the 13' unit
1980 - Earlton Boler 1650 * site comment says Amereigo mold
1988 - The last Boler trailer apparently came off the line
Neonex, still holds the boler trademark and the registration is still "live".

Ours is an Earlton from Earlton Ontario but a 17' made in 1978 measures 17' 4" long

The Midhurst Bolers were made from molds sold off in an auction from the Earlton plant when it went out of business in maybe 1983. So the Earlton run of Bolers ended shortly before the Midhurst Bolers began.

A recent post of Sandor Dusa passing has brought a whole new light to the history of fiberglass trailers. (for me at least)
Sandor Dusa passed
I've always assumed that Irwin Krieg kept a low profile behind the other two originators of the boler and boler Manufacturing. When one thinks of the originators of the original boler company, it is Ray Olenko and Sandor Dusa that come to mind. Who would have thought that Irwin started Bigfoot when the original boler manufacturing business was sold?
I never thought that I would find history interesting. Discovering these little tidbits of information is fascinating!
