I picked this trap up on a trade deal, no clue who made it. I've looked it over and can't find any markings. Its an evil little thing, but I did figure out how to set it without impaling myself. Anybody have any ideas? thanks.

Woods and Water is the brand name. Made in 1981 to 1982. Limited collector value. I have some that I am trying to sell for $12.50 and there has been no interest.

Thank you for the info. It didn't look to be super old, so I wasn't thinking it was high value. Definitely not as easy to set as a 110 coni, so I understand why they didn't last long. Worth hanging in my trap shed as a conversational piece =) thanks again

Shoot new one on me, I was trapping in 1981 and never seen them. Learn something ever day. Only made two years, reckon that kind of say how well they worked.

They are scary to set, could easily see putting the spring through your hand with it.

You need three hands to set it, and two of them will be stabbed before you have it set.
