A guy just can't get away with nothing anymore!!! But what's life without a little humor..

I really don't go out of my way to collect government traps but this thread got me thinking. So I gathered up the traps I have with gov. stamps or parts and I am starting to accumulate a few.

Dang it Dale! I've got a rusty Old Timer pocket knife I will trade you for those old traps. The tip of one blade is broke off but now it makes a good flat head screw driver.

Seriously - if any of you guys have any to sale let me know.

I have a ATC #15 with “US” stamped on the jaws. Were there many government bear traps?

I have a number one victor longspring with Wash. State Dept. of Game stamped on the bottom; only one I've ever seen. Talked to some old retired Game Dept. guys and they said they were used at fish hatcheries to catch Great Blue herons. Anyone else seen these?

Does it have padded jaws to prevent leg damage? grin

Asking for a friend. If these traps are the "property of"some government agency how can you legally have them? I had a bunch and took a grinder to them to remove the evidence.

May have been used by a gov. agency,,,, but I doubt it is factory stamped.

Mine has similar "font".....and says:

Chas Howard 16 U S G

I assumed stamped locally and NOT at the factory.....for sure they look like individual letter/number stamps.

Thanks for the reply!
