I have set it, and it works but I can't find a name on it anywhere and I am scared to clean it up very much. I am unable to post pictures, so I am messed up there too. Anyone have any idea who made these? Thanks for any info...D-2

It's hanging down at the shop and tomorrow sometime I will lightly clean the pan to see if I can read anything on it. Are they worth much, I haven't got a clue on traps like these? Once again, thanks...D-2

Animal Trap Company of America bought out Gibbs in 1936, the traps that ATC made are not marked. Condition is always important to value. I have seen these sell for $800 to $1,200.
