I just acquired a few of them and none have stamping on springs. Does that mean they were made after animal trap acquired them and before putting animal trap co on pans. 5 ft of flat link chain and patent date pans. Thank you all very much for your assistance.

It sounds like that is the case, I have some that are that way. The other possibility is that the springs have been replaced. If the springs match the rest of the trap well, I would say that they are ATC made traps.

The springs do not appear to have been changed. The woman I bought them from said her father bought them in the 50s. Thank yo very much for the reply. Have a great week. Also are oc 48s generally worth more than arc?

Yes, Condition is important but O.C. traps are generally more valuable than ATC.
