If you join American Trap Collectors there are some photos of members collections that are really nice. It doesn't cost anything to join.

I have mine displayed on pegboard with hooks. Can be seen on the American Trap Collectors site which Cascade indicated.

I'm considering building some free-standing posts of some kind out of natural wood or steel, and then I'll attach pegs to it to hang the traps from. That way I'll be able to display the traps anywhere I want to, and won't be using up wall space.

I looked for American Trap Collector. All I came up with was North American Trap Collector. Costs $25 to join.


WISH I HAD MORE TIME TO TRAP!

I bought 8 foot pine boards, 6 or 8 inches wide and 1 inch thick. Stained them with dark wood stain, and bought black metal bathrobe hooks from Menards. Span the boards the length of a wall with heavy duty nails in studs. I will try to post pics soon.

Here is what I did. Cut some pine slabs for the sides, pegs for the traps, and barn boards for the back.

Looks good. Pegs are spaced out kind of funny, but looks good.

It was made for 5 bear traps but have a 4.5 and 14 at the top so it looks wider...bottom pegs are farther apart....just can't tell from the photo
