It is all steel and looks like a large version of the McGill Mouse Traps I have seen before. It's about 3 X 5 inches and appears to be in unused condition. On the top it has "The World's Finest Traps" over "AUTOMATIC" Pat. No.2321617. To the right of that, in circular format, is "Automatic Trap Co. Inc." In the middle of that is "Webster City IA" Would appreciate any info about this trap including how old and what it might be worth. Thanks in advance! Moosetrot

Also looks like it was actually a trap for rats or small animals. If anyone has any further info on this it would be appreciated. Moosetrot Last edited by Moosetrot; 08/29/15 02:23 PM.
