Still finding things in the attic

[MackDigger]

Ok so how early is this mousetrap? Any info is greatly appreciated because I LOVE it.

Even a history of victor mousetrap company is proving hard to find.

Cool find, I know Oneida made animal traps as well.

 

[AlienLifeForm]

It is pre-1935 going by the name, they stated making mouse traps in 1906. Somewhere in this period, although they started to phase out traps around 1910.

Oneida Community Ltd. was the company, Victor was the line.

I get it now, just read the amazing history you posted. Thank you so much! This trap is a treasure to me if no1 else.

 

[MackDigger]

Seems to be a pretty rare piece too. Even with this new information I can't find a close match anywhere on the internet.

The heck with the trap - what happened to the cheeeeeeese MackDigger!

It is an older one, and if it were mine it would be holding a nice place in my dining room display case. I like it.

Neat as hell...and quite the catch.

It’s a centerpiece for any rodent control collection!

Yep,, that's a good one. It doesn't look to have been bloodied. It is in mint condition and the lettering is very clear. If it were a coin I would give it an MS60 grade. However,, if you're going to use it, load it with peanut butter.

Very, very cool! Neat because you don't them posted too much.

 

[Msbeepbeep]
