Wylee OP Unregistered W	Found a handful of traps today at the dump...one is a galvanized vic 1.5 single long. Whats the story with these and is there any value? For the curious there was also a vic 1.5 cs, 3 vic 1.5 longs, a couple 11 or 2?dls, a little dls with stubby lil springs and a few others I love dumpster treasures...cant imagine why someone wouldnt want these...all have strong springs and seem new aside from a bit of rust.

Victor did make longspring traps with a galvanized looking coating in the #0 thru #2 sizes. Supposedly for trapping in the snow. Called the "Alaskan Special" They are collectable... The only Victor longspring I can think of that could be ordered with "teeth". Does it look similar to this one?

The teeth on the Alaska Specials are just a strip of sheet metal soldered to the jaw... They were sold with or without teeth.

Doors, windows, 2 x 4's to 2 x 10's, 4' x 8' vertical siding, even fiberglass insulation. A year after I got it built, I found enough decking to build a deck on two sides of it. I agree with you Wylee, don't knock dumpster diving, it's as addicting as trapping and trap collecting, it still is for me. Congratulation Wylee, great find!
