I am definitely interested I find myself trapping more and more each year.
I will get some pics of what I have and see if you are interested.
Bunch of conibears, double coils some with stakes, stakes. Everything shown. Some dyed and waxed before I put them away a number of years ago. Old sifter, some tools etc. I think I also have some muskrat stretchers.
I haven’t researched prices yet. Make me a fair offer if you know their value.

Trappers are a dying breed. It’s like Christmas morning running the line every morning…

You are not far from me. I have no earthy idea the value. But I have 2 nephews and a grandson who are old souls and getting to that magic age where they want to be Daniel Boone, Davey Crockett and Jim Bridger, so if you can figure out a price I can enhance their Christmas this year?
Some of the old school muskrat trappers love those Victor long spring 1.5’s. Other than that it’s kind of hard to tell what’s there based on the pics. I know most serious trappers are pretty picky about what traps they run. A mixed lot like that would definitely be good for some new trapper(s) looking to get started.
