Vintage Victor Made In Canada Stop Loss Trap Newhouse

Description

Victor appeared as a name on stop loss traps when they followed Gibbs design and made Two Trigger traps. which were effective but bulky.  Animal Trap Co then developed and marketed a number of different Victor branded stoploss traps such as the Louisiana Special, Double Shot and Double Grips, all of which were bulky and somewhat difficult to set with cold wet hands.  In the 1930s, the Animal Trap Co did a lot of development and experimentation with several different stoploss designs most of which were used for only brief periods.
In the late 1940s the Animal Trap Co began to produce the  round pan #1 size trap that became their standard for many years. This trap was produced in both the US and Canada and the example offered here is marked Made In Canada on the pan.  The trap is in very nice condition with strong spring, complete chain and ring and the pan reads very well.  The trap conforms to eBay policy that jaw spread may not exceed 5 1/2 inches.
