Hi everyone, I picked up a union hardware #2 dls for $7 at a flea market a while back. I don't know much about old traps, but it seems to be in good condition except that the dog is missing. Any ideas what it's worth? Thanks, Tim

$250! When I was picking through the pile of traps I bought it from, it stood out from the rest, so I bought it thinking it might be worth $30, tops. How much is "significantly less?" $100? I appreciate the help! Tim

Tim, Condition means a lot when it comes to old traps, also if it has all of its original parts, if you could post a few pictures of it, it would help in determining value. For example, does it have its original and complete chain, does it have both springs, are the jaws and/or base bent or broken? Not trying to cut it down, but things like that do affect the value, but for the $7.00 you paid for it, you didn't get hurt.

It's got the original chain, it's not pitted with rust, and both springs are intact. Basically, it's like a new trap with no dog and a coat of rust. I'd post pictures, but it's in nc and I'm in Ecuador. I'll try to get my brother to send me some pics. Thanks, Tim

I was just kidding anyhow. So, the "wire-brushed" look isn't an issue?
