H & R Boker English Rat Trap - 03/13/17 03:49 PM





Can anyone help with value or info on this trap? I believe it is an H & R Boker which is stamped on the spring. Thanks in advance for the help.

What information are you looking for? May I ask where you came by it? I have a similar Boker, though a bit larger.

Looking for value mainly. This trap was mixed in with a large assortment of early long springs.

Value as based on the info you provided.......
Depends on who is interested in them. (Not many are) General value up to $200.00. More for someone specifically interested in it.

Pretty sure the Boker family was operating in eastern europe and migrated to the US around the mid 19th century.

I wonder if any of the longsprings you got were Bokers. They made longsprings too.

Care to sell it?
