The # 1 Champion single long had a letter cut out of the pan, similar to the Victor V. I think the letter is a B for Bridell. A few folks say it is a C for Champion. www.usedtraps.com Please check out my updated inventory of Native American books.

The Escape Proofs were put on the market in 1938 and he sold his company to the Animal Trap Company in 1939. ATC sold them for a while afterwards with a mixture of ATC parts and Briddell's stock. Come across anything else interesting post it over in the trap collecting forum, not enough action over there... Here's a one hole model.
