Picked up a HERTERS 121 in Esky Naba. No chain and can't find any info or pics. Need to know what the correct chain setup looks l
ike. A picture would be worth a thousand words.

Mine has a kinkless chain and a nice swivel. You may be able to find a Swivel and chain set up by posting an add in the trap collectors magazine or you could find a newhouse swivel and chain set up as a substitute.

I grew up about 45-50 miles away from Waseca Minnesota, which was the home of Herters' I remember visiting there many times before they closed the doors. I also remember seeing new 121's with just the base link and no chain set up, remember buying two with no chain, also saw them with one spring.

I appreciate the info and the pic. I have no shortage of trap parts and could probably fabricate a chain. Just needed to know what to aim for.

I am thinking at least 200 but not over 400... But then I have a hard time remembering what I had for supper the day before. I made up a chain kind of like the one you pictured and this is how it looks today.
