When V was cut in the pan and ATCo took over production of Victor traps. I might be a few years off. Came with several different pan stampings. Some say “shoulder catch” due to the high arc of the jaws. Moderately common. Value, in great condition, maybe $15.00 or so. www.usedtraps.com Please check out my updated inventory of Native American books.

What is the small, metal wedge looking piece on the ring at the end of the chain? It is wedge used to secure the trap to a tree trunk or other wooden object. Common on many small size traps, especially Victor. www.usedtraps.com Please check out my updated inventory of Native American books.
