Anyone collect them?


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 had some back when I was a kid and just starting to trap. I found them in a box of old National Geographic Hardcover books. They were in envelopes with wire shipping tags. Sadly I don't have them 40 years later but thought they were really cool. I have seen some for sale over the years but never pulled the trigger on them.

I have a few from the early 1900's but don't look for them for collecting.

I have receipts for fur I sold dating to the 1970's . That is not all the long ago. But it is a record of what I received for the furs I sold 50 years ago now .

I have a 1918 Rumbaugh. Highest fur was a dark red fox at $24.00.
I also have another but don't know where it is.

hills bros had quite a few colored ones, I am looking for a funsten that shows the float trap being used,also a northwestern hide and fur that promotes the Pendulum killer trap ,both of these are black and white. Maas & steffen and northern fur also had some with color. I no longer have the hills bros but wish I kept a few.

Everybody knows the price of fur is too high for the end user to afford the finished product. I often wonder who could afford products made out of $30 coon in 1978. 15 million of them at that. crazy
