  • Custom Bundle: No

  • Vintage: Yes
  • Condition: The trap and chain is steel and weighs approximately 2.1 pounds by itself. This antique trap retains a very powerful spring action that slams shut very hard and extremely fast. The trap pan features the iconic Victor Trap Company large letter “V” cut-out in the center but I can’t find any other company stamps and/or markings on the pan or the frame. If they were present age, heavy use, natural patina and/or the combination of all have long obscured any possibility of finding them. The steel surface has acquired an even brown patina finish from heavy use and exposure to the outdoor elements over the past century. This trap has the absolute rustic and exact antique look and feel you want and expect to find on a genuine piece like this. Despite its age and rustic appearance, this antique long spring foothold trap remains in very good working condition and has aged wonderfully.

    RUSTIC LOOKING AUTHENTIC ANTIQUE ONEIDA VICTOR NO. 1-1/2 LONG SPRING FOOTHOLD ANIMAL TRAP with an approximate 42.0” long chain
    .
    This trap has been in the family since before my time as I got it from my grandfather’s barn while settling his estate nearly 50 years ago and it looked just like it does now back then.
    The trap and chain is made out of steel and weighs approximately 2.1 pounds by itself.
    The trap has an overall measurement of approximately 9.75” in length and stands approximately 3.50” tall.
    When the trap jaws are opened wide the opening is approximately 4.75” across measured from top to bottom.
    The chain measures approximately 42.0” in length and does not have a ring on the end.
    Note, although the chain is also antique too, it is not original to the trap, I added the piece of chain over 40 years ago because I thought it displayed better.
    Please refer to description photos # 10, # 11 and # 12 to confirm the size dimensions and for more details about what I have described.
