I know Bill Williams passed a couple of years ago. Did anyone buy the business and is anyone making those cages today?

Someone took it over, but I don't know if they stuck with it or gave up on it.

Sterling Fur and Tool from Ohio I believe is a distributor of the Williams cage traps. Give Keith or Humphrey a call they can let you know what is available.

Have never seen a Williams trap live and in person, but once saw a sketchy photo of one. From a distance, it seemed to me to be a very close cousin of Wickenkamp traps out of Iowa.

If the search for a Williams trap doesn't pan out........you might try Wickenkamp.

Wickenkamp made a good trap but Williams are a heavy duty type trap used them both over the years.


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

They maybe are or did.
I know there was a local cage trap maker that built traps for Sterling Fur.
Similar to the Williams trap.
