OK - 

The suggestions I have are that it could be a Hy-Gain DB1015
dualbander, a Garant GB-3, or a Wilson 36, 33, or System One that used
hardware that looked like HyGain. 

The small traps and 8 bolt boom to element clamps with a clamping bolt
in the middle look vintage HyGain.  I've disassembled and assembled
(and used their parts for homebrew) many HyGains, Mosley's,
Cushcraft's, Telrex, etc. and I've got a TH3 at the moment.  This one
isn't a Mosley or doesn't have Mosley parts - I just sold a TA33 last
year and it's a lot tougher than this little one is.  Traps are too
small, boom too small, element to boom hardware is wrong.

Now the question might be - did Wilson use HyGain hardware, or just
something similar?  Wilson traps were Mosley?

Sounds more and more like a DB1015.
