Shakespeare Minnow Trap #7715 with Original Box Vintage Closing : Aug-04-08 12:58:08 PDT CLICK HERE TO BID!

Thank you for looking. Up for sale is an original 1930's - 1940's Shakespeare Glass Minnow Trap #7715, with the original box. This is my personal belonging. I used it often when I was a boy on our fishing trips to Southern Missouri rivers. I would crush Saltine crackers in the trap, set it out in the mild rapids, and catch great shinners for crappie fishing; all while enjoying my lunch. The twine was of course attached to a big rock for support. I have many fond memories of this 70+ year old trap.

This trap is very rare, and to find one with the orginal box is almost impossible. Again, this has the original box. After researching on Google, I learned there are actually two types of the 7715 - one has two air holes in the top and one has none. This Shakespeare 7715 has no air holes in the top. I remember having to tip it to release the air so it would sink.

Should you have any questions or want more pictures, please email us. Thank you!!!
