1966-1967 Trappers Supply Catalog

[Pygmy]

I was sorting through a box of old family photos when I came across A Trappers Supply catalog from O.L.Butcher in Shushan, NY. the date is 1966-1967 and it is addressed to my paternal Grandfather, who died in October 1967.

Pretty cool stuff. It lists over two dozen of Butcher's own scents and lures, most at $1.25 per bottle.

Here are a few examples of prices...

#2 Victor Coil springs....$1.99 each or $19.95/dozen

Victor 110 Conibears ...$1.29 each or $12.95/dozen

#1 Victor Longsprings....$0.77 each or $7.70/dozen

# 330 Conibears....$9.25 each or $ 92.50/dozen

Newhouse wire rat stretchers...$3.85/Dozen

Ash pack basket, 6 peck capacity (largest offered)...$8.00

There are many other items and accessories also, including an application to join the New York State Trappe's Association. A five year membership cost $1.00 , and you got a Membership Button along with it.

Officers at that time were O.L.Butcher, Shushan NY, Bill Leathersich,Caledonia, NY, and E.J. Dailey, Ogdensburg NY.

Always loved getting my new Hawbakers catalog.

Just saw #110's at Cabela's the other day for $4 each I believe.

I remember the Butcher catalogs quite well. Sitting around with my trapping buddies when we were kids, putting together a 'massive' $25 order... ;-]

Thanks for the memory Pygmy!
