Reading his book. Does anyone have a picture of his special No 2 Rickard Special Fox Trap that is mentioned in the book? Curious to see one. Seams like quite a trap for its day.

I don't have any collector traps anymore but I did have the "Victor #2 Fox Special" if that is what you mean. It was a round jaw with the springs inside the frame like the old BMI's. It was made in a #2 and a #22 double jaw as I recall. If nothing else, I am sure the fine gents on the Trap Collector's forum on here would be able to provide you a picture.


I have nothing clever to put here.

I always thought he was a B&L double underspring guy but maybe Im thinking of some other old timer.

Hopefully they still have their tags on them.
