Identify This Trap

[spencerburgo 8]

Hi there, can anyone identify this trap I've had it about 20 years,

The funnel on top expands as the rat pushes in then closes again

Cheers spencer......

The trap is a galvanized one, and it is in good condition considering in that the 20 odd years I've had it, it has been lying around in sheds and for the last 5 years has been up the side of my shed, I've just had to cut it from brambles so I could get a decent photo,

 

Cheers spencer.......

I agree it looks continental, there are a lot of similar traps made over a long period by many makers

 

I have a friend who collects mouse and rat traps, he might be interested in it - is it for sale?

Yeah I spoke to john at fourteen acres and that is the conclusion he came to, I was curious as I've never seen another one,as for selling it unless it's worth a lot of money wich I doubt :-) it has been put back behind the shed to get older,

 

Thanks for the replys lads

spanish falconers use a similar cage to hide their ferrets
