Quite a few people have contributed to this thread thankyou to those. Thought I might add there is some government marked traps out of Canada. Government of BC, certain mine disticts in Ontario marked traps, the province of Quebec, possibly Alberta. Most traps marked are Newhouse and most marked by their own agencies that used them.

GFOC-does stand for Game, Fish & Oyster Commission of TEXAS. GFOC or GFO was used on traps from 1907 thru 1951, when "oyster" was dropped. In 1963, Game & Fish Commission turns into Texas Parks & Wildlife Dept (TPWD).

About 20 years ago I saw a pile of PA Game Commission traps, in a metal salvage yard Owego Ny, Sure would like to know the story on how they got there.

Here is a Victor 3 stamped Property of State Of California. I picked it up a long time ago from a Game warden from Wyoming selling his trap collection
