Antique Oneida Community Victor #3 Double Arm Animal Spring Traps. One working & in excellent condition.
Both are 17" long when arms are fully extended, claws are 5" and 6" when opened. The two chains appear to be identical. The trap pictured to the right in the first and third photos is in amazing shape. It says "VICTOR" across top, then "PAT PENDING DEC. 16, 1902 & MAY 28, 1907. A cutout "V" has a small 3 written above it. Below that says "Made in the USA' . Unde...r it says " Oneida Community". For being over a 1000 years old this trap is in Excellect condition. You can clearly read the markings. It does have some patina build up but little to no rust. This trap is fully functional . You set the trap by pressing down on the spring handle with the ball of your feet or with a "C" clamp. (Do not recommend using as it can be very dangerous.)The other trap is not in nearly as good condition. It is very rusted you can barely read any of the markings. It also is not operable. I believe this is also a #3 I believe it was made before the other one so older than 1902. Although it is very similar there are a few differences. The claws are shaped different and wider on this one. how they are put together is slightly different the older one has two small dots while in the one in better condition has a square(see last two photos).also when setting this one the pin would of went on a notch inside the V (which is missing) whereas other one has a notch on the right side of V. And the markings are different from what I can make out.
These would look awesome displayed in a man cave and be a great conversation piece. Any advid hunter would love to have these and would appreciate their history. These have become extremely rare and unique items due to being harder and harder to find. Awesome gift for Dad or grandpa or uncle or husband or brother. Father's day gift. Western decor. Rustic decor. Man cave.
