I have a couple traps I do not know what they are. Picked up a big lot of #3 and #4 vics and these were in on the deal. [Linked Image]

This trap is quite well built offset and jaw face is stamped thicker than the jaw itself. Possibly Sleepy Creek??

This victor is in really good shape. Stamped property of Us on bottom. Cast offset jaws and chain appears original. End swivel broke. Not sure if it is anything special or just a great #3 to use. If I cleaned pan I think it would be 76% readable.

The second trap is a Victor 3N. First made in the late 1930s as a trap for government trappers.

A plus is the government stamping. A minus is the broken end swivel. Might have collector value to some one.
