I scooped your pic and put it on another site. This is what I got back....

It is a Gibbs Two Trigger. Made by W.A. Gibbs & Son of PA. Made some time between 1919 and 1936.

When Animal Trap Company bought out Gibbs, they continued to make Two Triggers until 1955.

It was a predecessor to the current stoploss trap.

The trap in the picture has a replacement chain. Can't tell for sure if the pan is readable or not.

Value - 5.00 to 8.00 - in my opinion

Thanks AKA

My grandfather used it for trapping in the early 1900's. More of a keepsake item.
