I can vouch for as far back as 2004. I got half a dozen #1 1/2 longsprings and #11's, They are still strong as can be

I remember going to their business back in 04. It was up and running back then.
God please keep they 19 fallen UBB miners out of trouble up there.

The #11 springs do get weak, though. Nobody has ever duplicated Blake and lambs springs.
Right now I’m having amnesia and déjà vu at the same time. I think I’ve forgotten this before.

I used sleepy creek #11s in early 1990s. Bought several dozen and they were awesome with round pans and adjustable. .
Money cannot buy you happiness, but it can buy you a trapping license and that's pretty close.

Still strong as can be, Ive caught almost everything in them over the years... Nothing that ever got its paw in one has pulled out. Including some pretty big K9's

just to add they made one of the coolest bear traps ever. I read an article in FFG where a guy used one back when they were legal to catch a big black bear

Anyone have an anniversary trap? That should give you your answer.
