I think that a Duplex Trap is one that can be set and put into your packbasket.Then when you go to make a set you just move the position of the dog to make it fire.Patented around 1919.Patent 1,303,265 May 13, 1919.Think this is it or a similar trap.

Here's a model that I made in 2005.Trap is in safety position.You pull up dog to engage pan, then it's set.

Nope I'm coming up short there. Neat trap for sure. I sent what i have found while researching it to your email as it's easier to load pics.

Thank goodness for Vance's books!

The trap was made by Oneida Community. One of the first of the "digger" type traps.

Good thing that Bob Vance had it right.It's funny how a trap that was a lemon over 100 years ago is worth a ton now.
