Do you also have a tag like this?

You should try to get a copy of the April 1970 Dune Buggy & Hot VWs Magazine, it has an article on the Berry Mini-T 4.

Here's how the engine cover mounts.

And some original emblems on a Mini-T 4

Berry often just used their trademark script name for an insignia. This is the only enclosed emblem Berry insignia I've seen

Here is their race buggy with the script name

Several of the pictures of the Berry Mini-T 4 which I posted above are from this ad. It was really nicely done with pin striping and the painted on logos. It also has the wind wings

Frank, you have me curious.

You name as Trashman, and you show Rome Ohio. I worked for 10 years for a family owned trash/disposal company based out of Cincinnati and worked out of the Wellston OH landfill, and then the Pike County Landfill once they bought it in '13. I retired in '13 3 month's after the Pike County Operation was purchased.

Would you be in the waste hauling business?

Looks like it was painted with a live chicken,polished with a brick and buffed with a pine cone
