Montgomery # 2 Double Spring Steel Leghold JumpTrap w/ Drag Chain,Hook,NameTag - $18 - (Show Low, AZ)

One medium size early # 2 Size Montgomery double spring steel Jump trap with drag chain and handmade grab hook. Approximate overall length is 6". Fully functional, springs and jaws are still strong. Trapper has slightly offset-gapped the jaws with a spot weld to prevent complete closure to somewhat protect the target animal and to meet local trapping regulations. This is the real deal from long term storage of a retired NE Arizona trapper and has a trapper's copper name tag still attached. Prior waxing is evident. Has a Montgomery #2 trip plate which has been minimally cleaned (didn't want to remove any more patina than necessary to clearly identify the trap). No other markings found. The well weathered uncleaned condition gives it great patina for display or is fully functional if so inclined and state trapping laws allow. As found, the trap had been dyed and waxed for use but still has surface corrosion that would clean nicely if buyer desires. Zoom in on pictures to better see the nice rustic well weathered patina. Ships USPS Priority to US addresses. International shipping through Ebay Global Shipping is offered. A precaution or reminder: If purchased, be extremely careful in attempting to set these large traps as they can be dangerous if sprung unexpectedly.
