I was in a rusty mood this weekend and this is the second in my rusty stuff post series. This one is for bobcat, coyote and other animals in the 25 to 75 pound area. If you live in a log cabin it is a law that you have to collect things like this.
The trap including the hinges is about 16" long. The trap portion is a bit short of 6 inches.
Have it on top of my coyote pelt to show scale and currently it is hanging with my other traps. If you are a mountain man you need a string of traps. Please note I do not actually use these.
I am thinking this is a Victor Oneida #3

Thank you Rick55.
Thank you ttomtucker.
The Oneida Community was a religious community who sold these traps for profit. The people did not believe in personal possessions, the children were put in sort of a daycare, and the people had open marriages. I have a preserves bottle from this commune. I'm reading a book by a man who grew up in the commune- his father was the leader.
@Eza Was this in Ontario ?

Thank you very uch roddyq. I would like to add a few more cap guns to my collection. A Rifleman playset would be great.
Thank you very much EZa. Apparently the community dissolved in 1870 and became Oneida Flatware who also makes the traps.

The OC lived in Oneida New York, however when John Noyes (the leader of the Commune) was about to be arrested for statutory rape, he fled to Ontario, Canada and Niagara Falls area, where he died. I'm reading a book by one of his sons, Pierrepont B. Noyes- My Father's House: An Oneida Boyhood.
