My opinion $400-$500.00 or what anyone is willing to pay. I looked a long time before I found one. Then he had 2 of them and had to buy them both. A friend of mine has the other. These were used on the meadows.

Very cool Traphound, this is one thing my father or I have never been blessed to own. I'm going to have to do some more digging or reading on these!! Who were the Manufactures of these?? Or were they hand forged?

Definitely cool but doesn't fall under the definition of a "trap" in my opinion. Never seen or heard of one of those. Cool collectors item without a doubt.
