This look original?

Over on the trap collectors forum there's some mjs with white letter pans.

Some older MJs has a spring over the main springs.


Was born in a Big City Will die in the Country OK with that!

I have one like that too. Probably should quit using it

A second spring that wrapped around the common typed used spring on every MJ like a booster spring. Seen them on several MJs this photo is a Ogorman mod it might be his early add ons.

There’s a really nice one for sale on the trap shed right now, pretty spendy though.

This is the trap I bought to help my modifications on the Montgomery 3s and 4s. I took off the Calvary picket pin in order to use the Iowa disposable stakes.

Still using this one. The early ones I bought had white stamped letter like that on them but not the wrapped springs. I found a couple of these square pans at a sale and was told the early springs were like this but the pans were some Big O idea.
