Iv done alot of trapping in my day and never seen a trap that would resemble that, seems to have square nails rusted in place like a horse shoe....
I looked up antique rat traps and saw similar looking traps. Guessing here that the square nails maybe held the teeth? :icon_scratch:

WD,

Based on this example looks like you might have part of the base.

rook that's what I was thinking also....kind of looks from the 2nd picture how that would fold over in 2.

I think you guys have it right. Wonder where the rest went.
I had catfish and fried green tomatos night before last. Thinking catfish and squash later.

Okay. So if not a part of a trap, what else? Now I’m really bugged about it. I might buy it just so I can get better pics. LOL! You know for entertainment.

Yes rusty, it’s all good Bart’s fault! Bruhaha

Well I don’t know, rook. I think it’s a good possibility still. I bet if we don’t come to a conclusion, I will buy it and get pictures of it. LOL. I think it was $5.00 and 50% off. Shoot its worth it to me just for us to come to a consensus.

I'd have a DNA test run. Might be some of my kin trapped in that thing.

Notice how cheap these traps we're back when. Not saying this is WD's find dc0369fa20d2232cdcb0f465b2776629.jpg And back then that was a lot of money.
