Had a box of traps donated to our association. I am not a collector and have no idea of the value.

22 of them are Blake & Lamb No. 1, Single Underspring with Hawkins CO New Britan Conn on the pan

1 is a No. 3 Blake & Lamb double underspring

1 is a W. A. Gibbs & Son No. 2 Sure Grip Chester PA with a square pan with both sides bent up to clear the levers

Any collector value for any of these?

Must not have any collector value. Over 45 views and not a single comment.

The only one that might have some collector value is the last one. # 2 Gibbs with square pan with turned up edges.

The B&L # 1 jumps are basically users. About $4.00 each.

The # 3 B&L double under is too common to be much of a collector and too outdated to be much of a user. It would look good hanging on a wall in your trap shed or man cave. Or sell it on eBay for big money to some one that doesn't know anything about traps. smile
