On the front cover it refers to be awarded the grand prize World's Fair 1904 and Funsten Animal Bait in use for over 20 years and the back cover shows a picture of the house of Funsten first served fur shippers in 1881. Would it be safe to say this catalog may be about 1905? It has pictures of traps I don't recall of seeing in other catalogs. Traps such as The Victor Double Shot and Spiral Spring traps. I got myself a seniors' GPS. Not only does it tell me how to get to my destination, it tells me why I wanted to go there.

If this catalog has the Victor Double Shot in it ,it would have to be a latter one. The Double Shot did not come out until about 1923. Last edited by snakecollector; 02/14/16 02:40 PM.

So I guess this catalog would be dated accordingly. I got myself a seniors' GPS. Not only does it tell me how to get to my destination, it tells me why I wanted to go there.
