check pics
rare to find complete and with papers.... dont miss out!
id guess just cause its not clouded or damaged badly this trap probably never saw water
obviously it was assembled by me and assembles very fast, all in all was a great design, just probably back in 1948 the plastics were not sturdy enough to keep up with alot of use... would probably work nice in a small brook or very slow river or pond back in its day.... i would not advise you use it due to plastic deterioration and degradation, its a amazing piece of fishing history, and could display well for years as center piece to a modest collection
box is complete but side panels are no longer attached
trap is complete and in great condition
all original packaging cardboard is in there it appears
eye catching instruction sheet is as in good of condition as the trap
hard to find trap!
