Hi Kevin, That's a neat trap. it's just too bad someone had welded on it. Ive seen that before. Thanks for posting the photo. Keep on checking it out. Ive seen traps before that folks have said not for sale, however people sometimes change there mind. Greg

Hi Kevin, That is a shame. Makes me cringe every time I see someone do that to a trap. A few years back a guy had a beautiful #15 Kenwood that was like new that someone electric welded the jaws open at the posts, the dog to the pan, welded the top and bottom eyes of the springs together, and just totally ruined it.

Sometimes if you lay a stack of hundred dollar bills in front of them they change their mind...
