Blake and lamb #4

[wally]

I just picked up a pristine double long spring #4 Blake and lamb for $10. Does anyone know anything about them? I can't find any info on it. I also got a #3 diamond dls. I'm just wondering if it needs to go on wall next to my 4.5 Newhouse...or in the dirt

Hang on wall, dont use. Those B&L have very strong springs.... good traps. The 44 Blake and Lamb is a great bvr trap also but unless one has alot of them wouldnt use them. Nice find.

Thank u sir. I'll hang it up, damn thing is almost impossible to set by hand

In good shape for only $10, you made a good buy.

Tom Parr the owner of Trapper's Post may know the value and the history of the trap.

I personally don't think it's ever even been in the dirt. It hasn't been dyed or waxed and still grey, no rust

It is a true Blake & Lamb if it was made pre-1967. Victor made them after that. If it has a pan post, it is a B&L. If it has the hump pan holder it is a Victor.

I'm guessing it's a victor then. It has a hump that holds the pan, on the pan it says Blake and lamb 4 made in USA Hawkins CO

Yea, thats when Victor took over for B&L. Just a Victor with the B&L pans Not quite the trap but they still used the B&L wide "U" springs. A good trap nonetheless.
