Actually, 176,127 and 176,129 are listed in the serialization book as earlier examples of the single traps. I don't know how Mr. Peck found that 176,129 was the earliest in the order books unless he has access to the PGCA record files. Maybe Mr. Peck got our historian/researcher, Chuck Bishop to search the records for him. We know that there are earlier entries than 176,129, and maybe earlier than 176,127. In the serialization book, there are hundreds of missing entries prior to the mentioned serial numbers. The serialization book is compiled of stock book entries. Order book entries are a different animal and may include many more earlier single traps than 176,127. Investigation continues.
