Found this trap in a box of stuff I got from my grandfather, it has a victor pan on it and double jaws. Neat to find stuff like that.

That is really cool. I remember seeing some of those when I was much younger.

Wow! Looks in great shape, even with what appears to be the original chain. Wissmiss will undoubtedly have your answer. Sorry I'm of no help, but I sure like looking. Thanks for posting.

I got one of those in a box of traps marked a $1.00 each at a yard sale.

Can't remember what model it is, but it is fairly uncommon. Maybe Model #90 Victor

Manufactured in the 1930's, I think.

There were two nearly indentical models with the inner trap oriented

both at right angles to the outer jaws on one trap,

and the other style with the inner trap aligned with the outer trap jaws

Wiss Miss would know, and cohunt from South Dakota would know also

Victor Double Grip, 1930's. Collectible trap and worth some money in good - excellent condition. The #40 jaw spreads are 4" and 6" I think. The #41 jaw spreads are 4 1/2" and 7 1/2 ". Can't tell from the photo if the pan is readable. Cool traps.

Looked them up in my trap book.

They are models: Victor #40 and Victor #41 manufactured

in 1931 by the Animal Trap Company of America

is not production of those some 1.5 million traps....
they are really effective in setting rat houses in the winter, very few losses being double lock-down.
