The flat link chain is original. The trap was coated so it would blend in with snow. In my price guide the value is $50.00 in excellent condition.

Was the Alaska Special the only trap of any make to have the flat link chain during the same time frame? [1950-1961] Let a man meet a bear robbed of her cubs rather than a fool and his folly.
