Found it, thanks to a friend.
It was found in a 1960 Allied Catalog and was called the Hygain model TDK
Trap-Traveller Micro Dipole. I have the scan of the page but the page
number got chopped off. If I read the Allied listing correctly, it was
$9.95 without the pair of T-3 traps and must have been without the model UB
(Universal Base) so it would have cost $34.85 complete? Anyway I did find
it. I can find no info on the web about it though so it must not have been
very popular. I sure liked it and kept me occupied in my dorm room at that
time.
Thank you for the help.

I need help in identifying the model number/nomenclature for an antenna
that I bought in 1967. The antenna was made by HyGain in the late 50's
or early 60's. I thought I remembered it being called the HyGain trap
traveler rotatable dipole. It was for 20/15/10 and looked like the
driven element of a TH3JR on a 3 foot mast that had a clamp for fitting
over a window sill and hanging out a window. It was intended as a
portable antenna and perhaps to be used from hotel rooms and similar
places I think.
I remember the antenna, but unfortunately that's all I can tell you.

Google has not helped me with this one. Does anyone remember this
antenna and might be able to tell me what it was called or the model
number?
I need to know what kind of plastic was used for the insulators and the
plastic that was used to cover the traps so that I may repair them.
Thank you.
