Answer 3

The Trapper keeper is a type of binder.
It came out in the 80's, and with a bang.
It featured a sliding three ring binder, it also has a special type of folder were It prevented papers from falling our the top when it was turned up side down, quite a good concept, but I've had a couple, and the three rings were plastic, and only seemed to last a couple months before breaking.

Answer 5

It's a 3 ring binder. Trapper keeper is a brand that was popular in the 80's... they make the folders called trappers, hence the binder that holds them is called a trapper keeper. They still do sell them, though they aren't the popular thing they once were.

Answer 6

A trapper keeper was a note book from the ol'skool made by mead. I don't believe they make the "Trapper Keepers" anymore however all it is a 3 ring binder with a flap on the side. Your teacher must be from the ol'skool to still be calling it a trapper keeper! :)

Answer 8

back in the late 70's and the early 80's they were the thing to have. They originally came out in green, red, and blue and soon expanded. It was a 3 ring binder that had a flap on one edge that would close over the long edge of the binder and velcro shut to keep your stuff trapped. It also came with an inside pocket on the left hand side of the binder, the right had side of the binder had a clip at the top and a notepad in it. They usally came with 2 or 3 folders that matched the binder. When they caught on in popularity they started having design and art work on them. By the late 80's they were dying out and by the 90's they were hard to find. I think I actually still have a couple of the later ones.
