Mini South Dakota Swap Meet

We had a "mini meet" yesterday to take the edge off the Sidney depression syndrome I am currently experiencing. Not as BIG as the MN meet but we sure had fun visiting.
Very nice original Victor advertising. Sorry I was not more steady.

This was in my opinion the coolest item there.

Really neat Victory printing on box!

Very rare 2 dozen WWII Victory box with the original traps.

More pics later

Here are some more pics.
Rare Diamond #25

Here is one that I never saw before!

A really nice Sargent #24.

I am sorry my other MJ 800 pictures did not take. Just my pan picture turned out.

Will work on my photography skills before next time.

I am jealous Pete!!!!!
Great people to have a "mini meet' with.... i would even pay admission to that one

We will invite you next time Digger Dale,and any body else. No charge to get in, just bring some good stories and some show and tell stuff . Have a good day.

I sure do appreciate the invite, Put me on the list.
I think "small" trap collector get togethers might be the norm this year.
If we have another up this way, I'll be sure to inform you guys too...... And bring that great photographer...

How come you didn't get YOUR picture taken with the two old guys Pete?

Cause I`m the half baked photographer.

And they don't know how to work a camera, right?

Right I can barely run a camera on my best days.
I will post a pic later when Sue comes out to the shop.

Funny thing about that swap meet some traps followed me home. Trap on the left is a solid pan Oneida #4 with teeth.

Got a nice #4 Sargent from Dave

Here I am with my new treasures in muskrat world.

Something about new traps in hand sure makes me happy!

Good pics Pete, and you got some cool traps there.
That #1/12 D victor is interesting. I think they used Gibbs oval pans on the early ones...

Yes that round pan Victor 1 1/2D is cool and the best part is it`s new. Thanks Cohunt! Good eyes Dale! You picked that one right out.

The picture of that mj 800 Sterling is one of the first 150 made with a more rectangle pan with the corners rounded off. From then on they are a round pan.

Pete, that picture sure brings back some good memories... Trapping muskrats was always a fun time for me but these rat prices from 2013 made it a lot funner...
