Re: Antiques
What edition is the book? If you look online you can find important information regarding editions and reprints that fix typos.
Once you have this you can check your book for these typos and then its quality/if its a reprint and edition.

Re: Antiques
NICE FIND! That old trap is an old Victor, those can be worth a bundle, do you see any markings on it that might be helpful in identifying it?

Re: Antiques
I don't know much about old traps, but i do know a decent amount about long spring victor traps because i own a few. The pan on that one looks fine, and so does the dog, I would test how well the dog connects to the pan.
If you aren't interested in selling it and want to use it I would try setting it (if you don't know how i can try describing it)

Re: Antiques
I have already tested it out. Worked good, I am assuming it was used for small mammals it destroyed a turkey bone

Re: Antiques
If properly used those traps shouldn't break bones, the old ones didn't have ofset jaws and they were stronger then they needed to be. I have a few traps that i use for coons, and some days i really don't feel up to cleaning a racoon (they have a huge layer of fat under their skin) so i just release them all, the newer traps hold on but don't damage.
I wouldn't advise using it if its way stronger then it needs to be.
What size is it?
