Need date of Gibbs pamphlet - 10/23/16 02:15 PM

Does anyone know what the date of the Gibbs & Triumph Modern Traps pamphlet would be? 114 pages, I did not look at each page but I did not see prices for any of the traps on the pages I did check out.

That pamphlet might be a reprint. Back in the 70s and 80s, some one was reprinting several of the older pamphlets, including that one. The reprints sold for $3.00 to $5.00 dollars.

I'm not sure how to tell if it is a reprint or not. The other reprints from that time period that I know of are 'Trapping Tricks', a B&L brochure and an OC brochure. All the reprints have great information and pictures in them.

Thanks Nancy, I am 100% sure it is not a reprint, you can tell the paper is aged. I did see reprints, but I am certain this is the "Real McCoy."

I suppose everyone is trapping. I thought for sure someone could give me an idea as to the date of the pamphlet.

There should be a date near the bottom of the second page. If it's a reprint look on the back page. It will state reprint on it.
