There are plenty of Triumph traps in all kinds of configurations around. I think they were made between 1913 and 1931, so any one you look at is 80+yrs old. ---- CAUGHT IN THE CROSSFIRE----Bye, Bye Miss American Pie----

I feel that all traps have there own history about them. Please post photos and tell us about your traps. This site will be really interesting to see what people have hanging around there homes.

There were companies that is the only trap they made. In addition to Victor, B&L, Triumph and Newhouse, here are some other brands of -# 1 - Champion, Mascot, StaKawt, True Value, Diamond, Economy, Hawley & Norton, Sargent, Crescent, Herters, to name a few. Most of them are not extremely valueable, so that is a good place to start a collection. So the next time you are at a trapping convention or an auction and you see a pile of "rusty old rat traps" don't assume they are all Victors, dig tthrough the pile and see if there are any hidden treasures? www.usedtraps.com Please check out my updated inventory of Native American books.

There are some VERY knowledgeable guys on here who are so good about answering questions until you do invest in good books like Gerstell's The Steel Trap in North America and Tom Parr & Blaise Andreski's The Trap Collectors Guide. Love the site and thank you Paul for allowing.
