    Hi jok, I think so, but not sure as it's in the fired position in the pic so cant make out how it would kill in the set position ? I'm guessing its American. Got it at a local auction last night in a job lot of traps. Cant quite make the names out on the plate.

    Any ideas what type of trap this is, what it's used for and how it works ?

    The hole in the wall was an entry point on the first floor. They were going up the inside of the drain pipe, along the waste pipe and in. Look at the smear mark on the conduit.

    Everything dido said is spot on. If you do 100 rat jobs in houses a good 90 of them are faults with the drains but you still need to rule out the easy first and that's looking for holes on the perimeter of the property, faultswith the brickwork ect.
  5. Ratmanwan3
    Can you get a picture of the hole ?

    It's been good here in the midlands. Both myself and a mate have had our best years.

    White rat

    One of the waste sites I go to had alot, if we shot 100 on a night, 10 would be albino. Filthy environment but they all looked snowy white.

    What have you ordered ?

    Squirrels in roofs are really common over here. I personally prefer kania traps in lofts but also use fenns and body grips.the tube trap is the same principle as yours but is a built in one piece unit. Works great cable tied to the top of a fence panel or tree branch.

    Given to me last week while doing rats for an old lady, hidden under a rolls Royce in the garage. 1864 us cavelry Sabres.

    Slow start in the Midlands, done 8 now, biggest about grapefruit sized. I think they will all come late like last year.

    Selection of gins for size. Fourth down is a standard 4 inch rabbit. Smallest is 2 inch. I think the bottom one is french, has teeth on the underside. Not sure what it was used for ?

    Cheers wolfdog, don't think there is a second dog on mine, it may be incomplete. I'll have another look.

    I've got a victor muskrat trap at home but can't see how it works. It's obviously got a set of jaws that spring up when the foot plate is depressed but then has another bar that looks like it springs over the top? How does that work wolfdog ?

    I would say kd is right, spend enough time doing stuff like this and sooner or later you get a wtf moment. I once caught two half grown rats in a rat snap trap which I thought that's a once in a lifetime experience, then about a month ago I caught 4 rats in 2 snap traps under a kitchen sink on the same day. Odd stuff does happen.

    I think the round wire trap is french aswell. I picked one up on monday from Newark antiques fair for a fiver.
  18. Ratmanwan3
    Do you know anything about the trap in the last pic comanche? I have the same but with bigger jaws. Not sure if they are french made ?

    The bayonet is of a ak 47. I have one the same my mate brought back from the first gulf war. There should be a slot in the blade that clips onto the scabbard to make wire cutters.

    I bought a few fenn scissor traps and used them for years successfully, not a bad trap. The Sara I picked up at an antiques fair , I knew it was a trap but had never seen one like it before. Sent pictures to a mate and within a few days got an offer I couldn't refuse. So I let it go for a lanes egg trap, a pole trap and a bundle of cash. Whilst I'm not a serious collector I do have a fascination for traps and always on the hunt around old farm buildings ( handy on my job) If anyone's got any swaps or selling any let me know.

    Some nice traps on there kd. This is my rarest find.

    I had a job a couple of years ago where the owner of a lake had seen two mink attack and kiil a swan. I would say mink or an otter to do the killing and drag it to the bank to eat, then maybe a badger or fox scavenging the rest ?
