Trying to identify a manufacturer of a mobile home that's been on our property for decades.
We've been unsuccessful finding the serial number so far. The property is out of state and I usually have more other issues I'm dealing with when I'm in town.
Attached is what looks like a faded logo on the front. I'm trying to gather any info I can to do a reverse search with the state's manufactured housing division.
Any help is very much appreciated!

Re: Help identifying manufacturer
One option could be to contact the state’s manufactured housing division with any identifying marks from the logo, and they might help you cross-reference it with their records. Also, have you checked for any other labels or plates inside or outside the mobile home that might contain more details?

Re: Help identifying manufacturer
From the photo, the faded badge on the front looks like it could be a manufacturer’s logo plate, but unfortunately many companies used very similar rectangular metal tags, and decades of sun exposure often makes them unreadable. A few suggestions that might help with a reverse search:
Check inside: Look in kitchen cabinets, bedroom closets, the electrical panel, or under sinks for a HUD data plate or paper label. They’re often overlooked.
Frame inspection: If you can safely access underneath, the serial/VIN is sometimes stamped directly into the steel frame near the hitch end.
State records: Since you’re already planning to contact the manufactured housing division, giving them the approximate year, size, roof type, siding material, and axle count can sometimes narrow it down even without a serial.
Local clues: Longtime neighbors, county permit records, or tax assessor files sometimes list the original manufacturer or dealer.
Logo comparison: You might also try posting a close-up of the logo to a manufactured housing or mobile home restoration forum—there are folks who recognize old brand plates surprisingly fast.
