Continued to be made by Victor when ATCo bought out Gibbs A fairly common trap for its age. Not many trappers still use them. They are about 9 different models, based on material in the bale, etc. Unless in super good condition, you will be lucky to get $5.00 for them. www.usedtraps.com Please check out my updated inventory of Native American books.

Larry: You can probably sell them for wall hangers. That's where mine are. Never argue with a fool - they will drag you down to their level, then beat you with experience.
