Danny, My 79 and 76 have the gold band but I have seen earlier that do not. I don't know when the gold started, but seems all the brands that used the trim had a period without the trim and then a start date. Silver Streak had a end time for the trim. It is likely that yours never had it rather than some alteration by the PO unless you find rivet R&R and other evidence reveals that work. There is a history on Tom's site that mentions the gold trim on the following link. Maybe someone knows the start period. http://tompatterson.com/Silverstreak/History.html Tom's site references Juergen Eichermueller who is very good at identifying trailers. You may want to contact him eichermueller@BauNetz.de with sized down pictures and year of your trailer. He may know from the first trailer in 1949 when the gold trim started. The history states the trim ended with the 1985 Sterling and the company ended in 1997. I also would like to know the gold band period for SS and Streamline which may correlate as both makers had periods without the gold trim. -Eddie-
