AUTOMATIC MECHANICAL SPRING HOOK FISH ANIMAL GAFF TRAP Closing : Sep-07-08 18:30:00 PDT Click HERE for details!

THIS SPRING LOADED DEVICE IS 3 1/8TH INCH IN LENGTH. THE MAIN BOY IS MADE OF BRASS, WITH THE 2 JAWS, CENTRAL HOOK, AND PLUNGER MADE OF STEEL OR MAYBE NICKEL? THE FLAT END OF THE PLUNGER INSIDE OF THE JAWS IS SPAMPED "PATS. PEND. MADE U.S.A." THIS "FISH TRAP?" SETS READILY BUT HAS A HAIR TRIGGER AND GOES OFF EASILY. IT LOOKS TO BE COMPLETE AND IS IN EXCELLENT CONDITION. IT APPEARS TO BE FOR A SMALL ANIMAL OR FISH, BUT I CAN'T FIND ANY INFO IN ANY BOOKS OR ONLINE. YOU WILL HAVE TO BE THE JUDGE OR HOPELFULLY SOMEONE WHO SEES IT KNOWS SOMETHING (PLEASE EMAIL ME IF YOU HAVE SEEN THIS BEFORE-EVEN AFTER AUCTION ENDS) IN MY OPINION, THIS IS OLD AND CERTAINLY FACTORY MADE.

IT HAS A SPRING IN THE TUBE AND THE LITTLE "L" SHAPED PIECE HOLDS THE SPRING DOWN AND THE HOOKS SPREAD. WHEN THE "ANIMAL" PULLS ON THE BAIT, IT PULLS THE "L" SHAPED PIECE FROM HOLDING THE SPRING IN.
