old traps FT........( spoken for again! thanks for looking )
Catnapper:
I will get some pics up tonight but I think they are #2 victor double longspring. I will check the pan when get home and let you know for sure. As far as being cast or stamped jaws I am not sure. They are pretty old and have definitely been used. I got them from my dad who got them from his dad. If they are going to be put to use again they may need some touch up work like notches filed, dogs squared up etc. I mainly used them as home decor. Since I do all my cat and coyote trapping with newer bridger #3 4coils. Pappy- has first dibs since he contacted me first. I'll go through my traps tonight though and may be able to come up with a few more. Thanks for looking guys.
Catnapper:
Here the pictures of the traps. They are #2 victor double longsprings. Im not sure how to tell if they are cast jaws or stamped jaws.
Justin Snyder:
Looks like maybe some of both cast and stamped. If the edges of the jaws are sharp they are stamped. If they are more rounded and textured like a dutch oven they are cast.
Catnapper:
Justin- after reading your post and looking at the edges i am thinking they are stamped because they have pretty square edges. Just slightly dulled from use. Thanks for the info though. I learn something new everyday on this site!
Pappy:
What length/width Osage stave would you want and how old ? Bark on or off ? Kind of busy right now till the IBO world is over but if you don't make a deal with twistedlimbs then I would be interested, Don't let me stand in the way of any other trade ,especially for someone that is going to use them,I just want them for the wall. :) :) Thanks for the pictures. :)
