When were these items marketed? A family member gave me a pile of traps today and just curious when they were manufactured/sold? Saw the empty bottle and grabbed that as well...

1960's. The trap is a Blake & lamb. #40 Beaver Trappers Special The pan was narrow so that beavers foot had to be for sure in the trap to spring it. I knew a couple people that would take the flat part of the pan off the shaft just forthat reason.

I knew that you would have the answer!!! I believe that I recall you either carrying one, at one of the conventions or a pic of you smiling, on the line with one... Any intel on the urine bottle?? I'm guessing 60s as well..

Probably. I have a 1968 - 69 Catalog and it is not in it.

Eric, an older gentleman gave me a bunch of traps and lures and lure making stuff back when I was in my late teens from Hawbabaker. I have not used any of it, but I imagine it is better today than when it was first bottled. It is a nice collectors collection.
