I have a few other ones that have a #1 size pan and they say Montgomery but they don't have the "step in " on the pan. The pan on this one is big and says 1 1/2 but it's a number 1 size trap. They must not of made very many as I can't seem to find any info on them.

They've been dyed and waxed before storing them in buckets. I might need to dig them out just to make sure.
