    Peck, Smith Manufacturing was one of the first companies in America to mass-produce steel traps, beginning roughly five years before Oneida Community entered the business.
    The company, chartered in 1848, made metalworking equipment and also a line of traps in sizes No. 1, No. 1-1/2, and No. 2. The cast pans featured P.S. & Co. and the size number in raised letters.
    By 1870, P.S. & Co. had merged with two other Connecticut firms, S. Stow Manufacturing and Roys and Wilcox, to form the renamed Peck, Stow and Wilcox Co., which offered the P. S. & W line of traps, described in an 1878 catalog as “Oneida Pattern Steel Traps.” They were made in six sizes from No. 0 underspring up to a No. 4 double longspring. By 1890, the cast pans featured P. S. & W. Co. in a broad circular depression with the size number in the center.
