FREE: 100 YEAR OLD ONEIDA "JUMP TRAP" WORKS LIKE IT'S NEW!!!

The listing, 100 YEAR OLD ONEIDA "JUMP TRAP" WORKS LIKE IT'S NEW!!! has ended.

ONEIDA JUMP TRAP. MADE IN THE U.S.A. PHOTO #2, WRITING EXTREMELY CLEAR ON PAN. Chain is about 14" to the ring. Other measurements shown. Pan 2". I use to keep these traps free of rust by boiling walnut husks in a large barrel over a fire and dipping the traps in the mix. NOW IF YOU WOULD LIKE TO REMOVE THE RUST FROM THIS TRAP, TAKE A PAN WITH HALF VINEGAR, HALF WATER, DEEP ENOUGH TO COVER THE TRAP. KEEP IT IN THE MIX OVERNIGHT. TAKE IT OUT (I USE THE DRIVEWAY) AND SPRAY THEM OFF AND CLEAN THEM. IT WILL BE A THICK OILY BLACK SUBSTANCE.The Victor brand of traps were made in two models from 1886 to 1889. The first model featured a cast pan and shank dogless and a short latch trigger type in cast pan and shank and a riveted pan in smaller sizes. The second model had small riveted pans on a flat and sideways type post. The pans were stamped Kenwood, Oneida and Oneida Community, N.Y
The hump cross model was used after 1907 and the "V" was cut into the pans after 1910. The #91 and #91 1/2 Victor was used to replace that size in the Newhouse line. Later, the 20 series was made to replace the 91 type. All of these changes were to cut production costs, NOT to make a better trap. The Victor Giant was made with several changes in jaw style and pan lettering.
