Yes, but value depends on condition.

Take an old toothbrush and a shot or two of WD40 and see if the pan will clean up. A readable pan improves the value of the trap. The

The chain is a plus because it is complete with the wedge and the other little thingy on the ring.

For some reason the 91 series have been selling really high lately....... Probably a passing fad.
Yours looks to be a 91 1/2 if it has a nut on the bottom...

There are certain characteristics that can be used to date your trap. One would be that "other little thingy" on the ring. grin grin grin

Ok. Ok. Ok. smile. I know that “other little thingy” has an actual name. But I can never remember what it is. Sorry.

Please enlighten me (and any one else that cares) with that parts real name. And I will try to remember. smile

Thank you.

Nancy, I don't know that Oneida Community called it anything. A lot of people call it a "belt hook", which it is NOT. I can not imagine hooking that to your belt and try to walk with the trap banging against your knees. But, it is a chain hook, for wrapping the chain around a root or small tree or such and hook it back to itself to secure the trap.

Nice find!

I think the thingy on the chain loop is called a tree spike, or I just made that up IDK

There are two “thingys” on the chain ring. One is the wedge (tree spike). The other is sort of an S shaped “thingy” snakecollector talks about.

I am sure glad snakecollector answered your question. I didn't want to admit that I call them "thingys" too....

“Watchamacallit” is much too difficult to spell. LOL
