I.am not a collector and don't know anything about vintage traps, but these seem to have complete chains( although they are different lengths). The other 5 traps I modiified to meet my specs. Do these 2 traps have any value as a collector, or should I modify them for user traps? Thank you Last edited by WisTrapper; 07/21/23 08:03 PM.

The chains say they are ATC traps but if they aren't boogered up they still have some value. Last edited by 160user; 07/21/23 10:36 PM. I have nothing clever to put here.

Pete Never required the monkey. I think I was 19 or 20 before I could set one by hand, then graduated to 4 1/2’s!!! And I wasn’t fat, weighed about 165. Last edited by newhouse114; 07/22/23 02:54 PM.
