Is there value to any of these? They all appear to be hand made as the points on all of them are square hammered instead of angle cut. The one is so small it must be for a mouse trap. LOL

Not really any collector value, just users.

Thanks! That is what I figured. I might make wall hangers of them anyway. I especially like the ones with the twists.

The ones with the twists are cool, even if they aren't collectors.

The drag second from the left with the twist resembles a Blake & Lamb drag. They were the first drags I used for fox trapping. I have a Blake & Lamb Catalog & price list from the 1940s, and the retail price for that drag at that time was 20 cents each or $2.00 per dozen.

I found an online inflation calculator - 20 cents in 1945 would be worth $2.71 today. I guess I better hang on to it. LOL
