Probably an easy one for you collectors, but...

Got this in a box of parts at an auction, not sure what it was, any ideas? Obviously more modern than what you guys have shared, but it sure has me puzzled.





Thanks

I'm thinking the remains of a VICTOR 22.

I agree,,first model 22,,came out about 1938

Yes. The pan should say FOX TRAP in the center.

Thanks guys, now that I know what I am looking for, I'll have to locate the rest of it at the conventions, Ie pan, springs, spring pin, and chain.

That will be quite a challenge,,Probally eiser to just buy one complete, but not as much fun,,,

Paul,
What is their price range? How hard are they to find?
Thanks,
Waz

Not sure but I would think you could find a pretty nice one for $25.,,,I had eye surgery today and am pretty miserable tonight but when I get feeling a little better I will post a couple pictures for u,,I may be way off on the price but someone else on here will help,,maybe 160 user or cohunt

THIS IS AN AD IN THE 1938-39 F C TAYLOR FALL TRAPPING SUPPLY CATALOG,,,IT SHOWS THE PLAIN JAW AND THE DOUBLE JAW,,IT SHOWS FOX TRAP ONLY ON THE SINGLE JAW VERSION, AND I HAVE NOT BEEN INTO COLLECTING VICTORS FOR A LONG TIME AND CAN NOT REMEMBER IF THE ADDED FOX TRAP TO THE 22 OR NOT,,,I ALWAYS LIKED THAT TRAP,,,I CAN NOT REMEMBER IF THE LATER VERSION OF THIS TRAP WITH SQUARE JAWS HAD FOX ON THE PAN OR NOT BUT I THINK IT DID FOR AWHILE,,,,THERE IS NO MENTION OF THIS TRAP IN THE 1937-38 CATALOG,,

#22 Victor







#2 VICTOR 1ST MODEL FOX TRAP

Interesting. The ad showed the double jaw connected to the outside jaw but the photo of my trap parts and Nhousecattrapper's #22 show a differrent jaw style.

Thanks for sharing!

What appeared in the artwork was very often slightly different than the production run traps. The center connection probably proved too costly with the extra work involved.
