I have just one got in a mix of traps. Probably just hang on the wall.

Are they square jaw or 6 sided? The early models were 6 sided. They also made a 220 size trap. These are square. The only ref I can find is an old pic from ebay with the ad title (pasted in the pic) Wilderness Corp. Ring a bell ? Looks like the hexagon you mentioned ? I can't find any related info anywhere. Thanks These look like good traps, other than the tin triggers. Got a little over 2 doz, like new, film of rust, probably never set. Thanks folks,

We sold a half dozen of the 1 1/2 Baby Bear traps at auction at or convention last weekend. I do not recall what they sold for.

They were made in Cooperstown NY, made coilspring also, guys name was Ted Hargrove, I bought some and regret using them. Coyotes would eat the coilsprings, the concept was good exceution not so much! This is correct...
sometimes it's better to be lucky than good ...

found this on another forum: "only made for a few yrs i think in the late 70s or early 80s .there only made 2 size coils baby bear 1.5 and papabear 1.75 and two siz connis 110 and 160 size."
That's about it Anybody ever seen/used the coils ?
Thanks again guys ! I had some of the 1 1/2s back 80/81 got them from Ludy Sheda cheap, only a doz and think I paid around 12/15 maybe, they were poorly made with jaws that didn’t line up evenly, IE gaps and uneven jaw face and when I pulled them out of the box three actually separated at the swivel the rivets just popped out and a couple more came out when I gave them a tug Never did set them and think I still have them in a box somewhere The later ones I seen looked ok but after what i got. Never trusted them
