Was hoping someone else would reply here but I will offer an opinion since no one has. The trap appears to be a #3 size comprised of parts. Traps like that were assembled in the 1930s or so from parts lumped together when the Animal Trap Company bought out the competition(short version). The #3 size trap shown here is perhaps the most common size of this version made up mostly of Triumph trap parts with Victor pan. In the photo you can see that the Victor pan is mounted on a Triumph shank and certainly factory done. If the trap were in hand I might be able to ID all the other parts but it appears they are all or mostly Triumph. In the series of 6 sizes of traps made exactly like the one shown, the 0 size is quite rare and has a value of several hundred dollars if real nice. I recently passed mine on to a fellow collector and tman member. The #2 and #4 sizes are also far less common than the 3. If the #3 trap is in decent collector condition, it would be worth perhaps 35.00. If it is not in collectible condition, it is worth perhaps 10.00 if the springs are strong enough to hold a coyote.
