The pan has a double notch. I know that pictures would be nice. Any ideas what it might be? PTA Life Member #642

If it is the trap that I think it is.It can be set before you go trapping and put into your trap basket.When you are ready to set the trap at a set, you move the trigger from a safetly position to ready to fire directly to the pan.A R Harding Book Steel Traps page 37 has a picture of a Duplex.My guess is that only a handfull were made. Not popular with trappers.Bruce

He had Patents from 1884 to 1919.Most Famous was The Dogless Double jaw Cortland Trap 1888 -1892.One trap from 1899 will fire if the pan goes up or down.Bruce Last edited by Bruce1; 07/19/15 06:18 AM.
