It CANNOT jump because it is riveted to the longspring trap. I do not see why you THINK it is a jump trap. Could you tell me WHY you think it is a jump trap?

DiggerDale trapper Joined: Jan 2014 Posts: 1,353 North Cass Co. Minnesota	Originally Posted By: pineywoods Surely, DiggerDale doesn't think that the O.C. and latter A.T.C. had workers hand stamping a #1 on a #4 jump pan to make a #14 jump for 70+ years. Also the #4 Newhouse with offset jaws go back to at least 1865. In 1887 they changed it from #4 with offset jaws to #14. IF any #14's left the factory with a hand stamped #1 it would have been that year. If so, the mold mark will be on the underside of the jaws close to the center and not on the leg of the jaws. It is highly unlikely that an A.T.C. 14 left the factory with the #1 hand stamped in. I don't have much for 14 jumps anymore but I looked at one OC model and the #14 looked good. The only two ATC jumps I have both look like the #1 is kitty wampus. Five of five of my Newhouse ATC #14s look like the 1 was stamped separate from the 4. Seems like the more I learn the less I know....Dale

I have my doubts that the #1 is hand stamped. It's positioning is too consistant. Looks the same on my trap. Same distance from the V, and aligned with the 4. I believe that when making the die, they either allowed for the V punch-out that is in the pan when making the #1 or just added the #1 to an existing #4 die? A stamping with the 1 out of alignment with the 4 could disprove my theory, though, and real quick like. Edit to add: I took a closer, straight on look at mine, and it turns out that it's the one that I needed to see! The #1 is not in perfect alignment with the #4. That's what I get for thinking out loud ....

There is no collector value to them, so i never paid any attention to the stamping, so i guess i shouldn't be discussing them. I was just going by logic. One thing for sure, on the #14 jump posted, the stamp started out as a #4. The #4 is centered on the V. If it had orig. been a #14, the #14 would have centered on the V. But i stick to my guns that it is not a VICTOR.

PINEY.....I think it is a jump trap because its the SAME thing as an underspring....its a type of trap....not an "action" of a trap......and it says onieda victor on the pan...and inner trap is IDENTICAL to the same size trap that "onieda" calls a jump and blake and lamb calls an underspring.

The base is also a spring, and when the trap is tripped, it jumps and gets a higher catch on the critter. I say again, the inside underspring trap on a #40 or #41 does not jump and the pan does not say that it jumps. The base of the inside trap is fastened to the base of the outside trap, therefore it cannot jump. Also i have a Blake underspring trap that has a cast base, therefore it cannot jump. All underspring traps do not jump.

Drove every road up there that i could get over in my two wheel drive PU. looking for traps from 1971 to 2004. (i didn't look for traps the first couple years) There is a road out of Wasilla called Fishhook Road. Since he uses fishhook, Alaska as an address, and he thinks it is weird for me to think maybe he lives on fishhook Road, then i think it is weird for him to think it is weird. Hope i didn't use weird too many times. Last edited by pineywoods; 02/09/16 08:00 PM.

I mostly look for Cast Iron mouse and rat traps from the 1800's and very early 1900's. I have collected axes for several years, but the last couple years i have been able to find some supper rare ones, so i will have to add axes to what i collect.

If I had been up there looking for traps when you were, I would have been looking for bear and wolf traps. Just thought that you might have had the same Idea. I like old axes, but rarely run across any. Did find a small Plumb not too long ago. I've always hoped I'd find a trade axe with my metal detector, but it hasn't happened, yet. Thanks

I found out that i could trade a common bear trap for small traps worth MUCH more, because of its size. One of the many swaps i made was a #5 ATC for a Campbell (3 1/2 size) trap. People that saw the swap thought i was crazy. Well the campbell is worth maybe five times the #5. Never turn down a trap because it is small. Also, i did look for wolf traps. I had about three dzs. #114 O.C's at one time. Last edited by pineywoods; 02/09/16 09:14 PM.
