So who makes Blake and Lamb now? I’ve seen them for sale, I think it is victor. Are they not as well made now?
Who is John Galt?

Oneida Victor of Ohio is currently making traps with the name "Blake & Lamb on the pan. These are NOT like the original B&L
Original B&L have 3 distinguishing features
- a flat cross piece with a post pan. Newer B&L have a humped cross piece and clamp pan, like a Victor. - lock link chain. Newer B&L have a twin-loop chain, like a Victor. - more rounded spring end. Newer B&L have a more tapered spring end, like a Victor.
If you take a trap and hold it in profile view at eye level, you can see the shape of the spring end. Newer traps are V shaped. Older B&L are more U shape.
Original B&L made 4 types of # 1 long spring traps -
Single long, single jaw Single long, double jaw Double long, single jaw Double long, double jaw
All of them are out there on the used market. You just have to keep looking..

The old rounded spring #1 longs that B and L made are amazing. Great Coon traps. Very strong. I have a couple dozen. I wish I had more!

In my experience selling used traps, Trappers either really like or really dislike that model of B&L single long stoploss. The folks that dislike those stoploss don't like the way the guard part is set up. Not sure why. Because they don't use it properly.I wedge the delay bar under the little bent part of the jaws sticking out the front of the frame.This way the stop loss bar never fails to trip.
