Nice Govt. traps Don, Thanks for posting the pictures. I thought for sure you knew what an APHIS is. Those are the little bugs that suck the life out of plants buddy. LOL

Dale, it will have the arched stamped Property of Us on the round pan under the square. Take a chisel and cut the rivet's off and you will be able to see it. LOL

Dale has time on his hands and is a tease but he is not a fool! A guy just can't get away with nothing anymore!!! But what's life without a little humor.. I really don't go out of my way to collect government traps but this thread got me thinking. So I gathered up the traps I have with gov. stamps or parts and I am starting to accumulate a few.

I have a ATC #15 with “US” stamped on the jaws. Were there many government bear traps?

I have a number one victor longspring with Wash. State Dept. of Game stamped on the bottom; only one I've ever seen. Talked to some old retired Game Dept. guys and they said they were used at fish hatcheries to catch Great Blue herons. Anyone else seen these? George BRady Does it have padded jaws to prevent leg damage?
Providing wild fur to the industry at below the cost of production for over 50 years.
Mostly carbon neutral since 1948.

Asking for a friend. If these traps are the "property of"some government agency how can you legally have them? I had a bunch and took a grinder to them to remove the evidence.
