Gear Trap - 12/31/21 03:02 PM
1- were any gear traps made commercially? 2- aside from what someone is willing to pay, do they or any specific ones have any value. i honestly dont care, but do want to know. i inherited one a long time ago and gave it of a "friend" that was a collector. i am now a collector (of traps that tickle my fancy more than some elusive model) i have come across an old gear trap that is fox or a little bigger size. im going to buy it, just wondering if it has any $$ value. i posted on here a couple years ago about a trap in an antique shop that had a card stating it was a 1700s man trap. even if it were a man trap it was a bit pricey but since it is still there and i am armed with better info on it being a gear trap (but def enough to catch a person if they were dumb nuff) i may make an offer it it as well
