Are there any Victor or Blake & Lamb size 0 traps that have good collector value?


I got myself a seniors' GPS.
Not only does it tell me how to get to my destination,
it tells me why I wanted to go there.

not sure Jim but the early no Vs stamped in them have some value. I just picked up a Kompact 0 which was made by victor. It books up to 200 I believe. there are some who argue there value but this is the 1st I have seen in person and there was one on here a couple years ago.

The earliest Blakes are quite valuable(thousands). Later Blakes and the earliest Victors can bring hundreds if nice. All before about 1900 have some value.

I have a #0 victor wars teed made in Canada that is very unusual. I have never seen another like it and would think it should be worth a few bucks.


I have nothing clever to put here.

Thanks for the replies thus far. What signs do I look for for early 1900's? The reason I am asking, I have a bunch of # 0's and if any of them have much value I would like to be able to pick them out, so what do I look for?

Look at jaw type, chain type, stamping on the pan - for starters.

Both, but most are long springs. There is 1 Blake & Lamb jump with the traditional chain. All of the Victor Jumps appear to be a skull pan type. Some of the Blake & Lamb long springs have what I call the traditional chain and some have chain similar to Victor's. Not sure, but I think every Victor has the notched "V".
