This was my grandfather's and in my family for almost 100 years.

I have done a tremendous amount of research, this has, also been sold on Live Auctioneers.This is a real bear trap, it is not fake.

Crafted from solid steel, comes with a setting clamp and safety slide.

Trap features a double spring composition with a heavy gauge drag chain ring and cast teeth on the jaws.Teeth works!

Measures:44"-L x 16"- W x 11"

Has plenty of natural patina.Pre-owned, original condition, coated w/1 coat of linseed oil to prevent further rusting.Has not been used in years.

Great collector's item.Price is firm!

FYI It is a modern reproduction. (That was all I said)

I am in a house that was built in 1939 and these traps have been in the house all this time.These traps are old! You don't need to tell me anything, these are antique!
