They looked like a good way to bang up a guys fingers I bought a few and sold them a short time later.
Was born in a Big City Will die in the Country OK with that!

And to think, I threw them out when they came with a box of traps I has interest in at a convention years ago

Started in 1925 and the earlier ones had a brass trigger. Made in basically 6,8,10,12 and 14 inch with minor size variations. Pretty common trap with the exception of the brass trigger ones and the 14 inch commanding the most money. There were a few dozen square ones made that would qualify as the holy grail for the bigelow trap. Caught my first fox in one and I caught a raccoon high on a rear leg and never set one after that. Good info. They seem to be fairly common, I'm surprised they are that valuable.

I see them on eBay cheaper for the 8 inch a lot. That must be there most common size. Bought a 14 inch for $45 not long ago
