Can anyone help me with identification and values of these traps? Some of these I can sort of read, some I can decipher, and a couple I have no idea.

Any help would be appreciated.

Certainly wasn't planning on that, haha. Just wanted to know what to ask for them if I sell them.

You might take some WD 40 and clean them up a bit before you try to sell them. Do NOT clean them with vinegar or other harsh chemicals.

Thanks wissmiss. What do you recommend as far as how aggressive to be in the cleanup? Wire brush? Stout nylon brush?

Stout nylon brush. You do not want to clean them to bare metal. Old traps that have been used should have a layer of tight rust, that is called patina. What you are trying to do is remove dirt and loose rust.

Some of those traps look really rusty. It is possible that you won't be able to read the pans no matter how much you clean.

Good Luck.
