logun 91 Posted April 8, 2013 Author Report Share Posted April 8, 2013 interest was in the safety snare Quote Link to post
OldTrapCollector 377 Posted April 8, 2013 Report Share Posted April 8, 2013 The safety snare was introduced in 1983 and continued to be sold by the company until 1988, although residual stock might have been available through other retail outlets after this date I would like to get an example for my collection if you or anyone else has a spare OTC Quote Link to post

Matt 160 Posted April 8, 2013 Report Share Posted April 8, 2013 Am I right in thinking that the guy who actually made the snares went to work for AB country products OTC? I'm pretty sure I remember having a conversation with Fenn at the time they stopped making snares and the reason given was that "the man that makes them has left"... Quote Link to post
OldTrapCollector 377 Posted April 8, 2013 Report Share Posted April 8, 2013 That's correct Matt, there was a little more to it than that - a bit of unfriendly rivalry you could say ... OTC 1 Quote Link to post
logun 91 Posted April 8, 2013 Author Report Share Posted April 8, 2013 at the time the fenn safety snare was years ahead in terms of humane capture. 25years or so on and the modern relax-a-lock snare in use country wide but even back then they were develpin snares with the fox wefare in mind Quote Link to post
heritage 202 Posted April 8, 2013 Report Share Posted April 8, 2013 Matt, I think the guy your thinking of was Richard Quote Link to post
