Robert Vance published a small booklet on mouse and rat trap prices. I have no idea what the current edition is, My copy is dated 1993, so it is probably a bit out of date. LOL

I think there is also a book about British mouse traps.

www.usedtraps.com

Please check out my updated inventory of Native American books.

If i understand your question you want to know what your rat traps are worth? Post some pictures and maybe someone will give it a go.Keep in mind that prices etc. are only some one's opinion.

I don't have any collectable rat traps at this time, but they have recently peaked my interest. I wanted to add a few to my trap collection and didn't know where to begin.

Thanks, I was able to find it on ebay, Mouse Traps Price Guide also Rat,Mole & Gopher 2010-2015, by Robert Vance, $24.99+ shipping for a small booklet, I may have to do some more research...

Thanks again, it is greatly appreciated.

I have been on the American Trap Collectors site but it has been dead for some time now?

I have never used facebook myself until the pandemic came along.I did discover the sites I sent you links to by looking for certain food on my computer.The two links I sent you if you choose to use them do not require a smart phone.There are lots of traps to be had at the bigger trapping conventions.If you decide to join the NATCA they send a by monthly magazine with lots of articles and information including stuff for sale.

You don't need a smart phone to be on Facebook. If you have a computer you can join using your computer.
