VIN replacement tag on utility trailer

I recently bought a 5x10 utility trailer from a private seller, honest guy, likely wasn't aware of a tongue repair or repaint...not sure, but I need to get a replacement vin plate.

I have the sellers title, now titled in my name, with registration....but I would like to make it 100% legal.

The problem I have is the first 3 digits.....1C9, I can't find a manufacturer.

The title says "HOLM" but this is not a Holmes trailer and that's the closest match I can come up with.

Also the date is 1999 so it could be a homemade trailer, not sure but looks like a well built, 3" channel frame trailer.

Any thoughts on the make of the trailer?
