I bought some older traps that I need some information on.

What are some #3 and #4 jump traps, a B&L 1 3/4 coil spring worth?

I also got some older Victor #2 coils with off set jaws and some have the jaws attaching from the outside. I hope you can see in the pictures.

One other is a 110 and it looks like it say B&L suregrip. Did B&L make a 110 conibear?

You've got a nice bunch of user traps. Nothing collectible. Sorry.

B&L did make a # 110 body trap. First made in 1967, the first model had a one notch dog that hooked under the jaw )not over). After a couple of years the model changed so it looks almost identical to a Victor 110.

Your B @ L Cambridge N Y is a collectable trap in the 15-20 dollar range

I'm curious about your valuation on the B&L 1 3/4 coil. Would you care to provide a reference. Thanks.

It's a lot harder to get imo than 11/2 blakes or victors, I do think it holds some value too. The books are not always correct wissmiss

I understand the books are not always correct. Guess that is why the are usually called "guides".

Even though the B&L 1 3/4 coil is difficult to come by, I thought the value was a bit high. IMO. Just saying......
