First off, I am a PP photographer. I have a bunch of number "0" jump traps and this one looked different than the others, it has cast jaws, what I call figure 8 chain and is in pretty good condition. The pan is much more legible than the picture shows, I believe if I polished the pan it would be 100% legible, but I am told not to do that, lol. I would appreciate if someone could tell me if the trap has any value and what the value would be.


I got myself a seniors' GPS.
Not only does it tell me how to get to my destination,
it tells me why I wanted to go there.

Your trap was made by Oneida Community in New York, between 1914 and 1921. 1914 is when O.C. started cutting the "V" out of the pan on the "Oneida Jump" trap. And, 1921 is when they patented the ribbed jaws that replaced the cast jaws on the #0, 1 and 1 1/2 Oneida Jump traps. The ribbed jaws were later replaced with flat steel jaws, about 1925 when O.C. sold out it's trap business to Animal Trap Comp. Your trap is collectable but value is around $10.
