Good Deal?

Just brought little over 12 dozen Montgomery 1 1/2 's with 4 swivels per chain, dogs and pans filed. Put a dozen thru the cleaning process, and it appears that they have only been dyed 1 time, cleaned right down to the metal. All for under 30.00/ dozen. Springs are very strong.

I think you did awesome.

Sounds like great deal

That's cheaper than when they were brand new.Traps from that era typically cost slot more than their original cost.

If they are square jawed and if the "pan and dog filed" means they are short-notched, then, IMO, you got ripped off. If they are round jawed and the "filed" means they are just squared up or properly night-latched, then you got a pretty good deal.

Paid for the swivels and got the trap free,not a bad deal.

All round jaw, and there all night latched. Can't seem to get the pic transferred from my phone. Didn't mention that 17 came with 10 feet chain, and I think they were called Digger Drags.
So I think I came out real good.
This one has 10 ft chain/drag with a quick link, took them apart for cleaning

You got a good deal then. I would not be afraid to set those for coyotes here.

Excellent deal.
