Does anybody remember Vic Taylor from the Shinglehouse, Pa area? I never sold to him but I'm friends with his son. Apparently he was a pretty big buyer in the north-central PA area. He sold truck loads to a buyer in New York.
He was also one of the largest deer skin buyers in the eastern US.
He owned and operated Trapper Vic’s Restaurant in Shinglehouse.
Eh...wot?

Ludy Sheda from Chelsea,IA. I really enjoyed looking around his building. Interesting guy for sure. Going to Ludy's was an adventure in itself! Those were some great times! Used to take the kids and they'd come out with who knows how old bags of candy! Hahahahaha Could spend hours looking around his place! One of a kind for sure

John, you making me feel old. I do remember Sylvester Dietrich with his 1 front tooth, Mountain Bummy Brumbauch who lived in Niantic and was a character with his wild roots and herbal medicine, old man Roth who was in Limerick Pa and had his truck at Zerns every saturday night in his raccoon coat, and the best was Wilmer Kline. There was a buyer who knew fur and my father and I sold lots to him. Dutch was a good guy as well, I do miss him. You brought back some good memories.
Do something worthwhile, take a kid trapping

I lived in Central New York during the Fur boom and sold fur to Charlie Centner in Manlius, Bill Centner in Pennelville, and David Perrigo in North Syracuse.
Went to college in the Finger Lakes and sold to Stuart North in Clifton Springs, and Bill Strassner in Rochester.
Around 1977, I discovered the OTA Auction in North Bay, Ontario (Ontario Trapper's Association) (Now FHA) and never looked back.
Doubled my money selling in Canada vs. In-country NYS buyers.
Good memories.
walleyed Wasn't it Charlie Seager and Bill Seager in Manlius and Pennelville respectively? I believe Charlie Cetner was in Kirkville...

Do any of you New York guys remember Ira Newman? I ran into him back in the seventies at the Broom county fair grounds when the had fur sales there. That man had the biggest hands I have ever seen. He would pick up a bundle of xxxl muskrats and all you would see was the noses and the tail ends. His hand would cover the rest of the skin. He was a colorful character road around in a little red station wagon as I recall. Joh I sold coon to Ira at Springville fur sale maybe 79 or 80.....21 coon 665.00 if memory serves me right..wife and I had a great Christmas that year!
