What is the all time best selling trap? My guess would be the number 1 Victor longspring.


I got myself a seniors' GPS.
Not only does it tell me how to get to my destination,
it tells me why I wanted to go there.

I agree and would add to that their wooden rat trap. Haven't seen a better one on the market.

That was always my favorite coon and mink trap.

In the book "The steel trap in North America " when you research a trap it will show you how many were made each year. I have to agree with the Victor #1 longspring. Yes, I do understand that if ten million traps were made in one year they may not all have sold that year. But I believe they sold within a few years of production.

Been thinking on this some more...."All time" might just be the #1 longspring....Bet the 1 1/2 coil sold best during the fur boom years up until present, but that might be proven wrong as well.
