victor #4 Kenwood era trap

I really have no idea if my victor #4 Kenwood era trap patent date Dec 1889 that I found is worth anything .Can anyone give me an idea? Thanx

Jackdawgg, (Larry?)don't know if you got info on the #4 Kenwood....

if not,
My trap collector guide puts it at about $60

However...does it have stamped springs?
Are those stampings legible?

Do those stamps occur in two lines?

Are they "straight line" or "arched line"?

Spring stamps increase value; If it is stamped, I'd be interested in purchase, if you are interested in selling.

I'm far from being an expert, but man I loive old traps!

The #4 Victor, Kenwood, N.Y. pan was made by Oneida Community around 1900. It is not rare but hard to find in excellent condition. Value is subjective and will be different for each collector. In excellent condition, around $100, good condition, much less.

Victor traps, with very few rare exceptions do not have stamped springs. Stamped springs are on Newhouse traps made by Oneida Community.
