Need Help Identifying a Mole Trap

[Steve Albano 21]

Anybody recognize this mole trap? I bought it off a guy in the UK, but he didn't know anything about it, and I don't know that it's made there. The trap has no marks on it at all. Looks well made.

Thanks, Moxy, that didn't take long. Has anyone tried it?

 

Looks like the design is roughly based on our USA made Nash mole trap below, though the Nash is a monster of a trap. Way bigger and heavier than it needs to be in my opinion.

Never tried one steve but would be interested to know if somebody has and in what applications.

 

Im not really a fan of the new, set in my ways i suppose.

 

Get yours in the ground and give it a try

[Steve Albano 21]

I'll give it a try in the next few days.

It's a copy of the Fenn Loop Trap.

 

I've got a couple here, but I haven't used them.

Thanks, Docks.

 

Anyone know when the Fenn double loop was first patented or produced? OTC, you around?

The Fenn loop mole traps were produced in small numbers in the 80's - a single catch type and a double ended rectangular one like a flat Duffus trap, there were a few slightly different variations made by the company over their short production lifetime

 

I am still looking for some of the types made by A. FENN for my collection and research if anyone has any?

 

The new copies are fairly true duplicates of the originals which faded out as they were not as good as the Duffus types

 

I think that a look here would bring you what you need http://www.amazon.co.uk/Barrel-Mole-Trap-New-Design/dp/B0049FGVVO/ref=sr_1_10?ie=UTF8&qid=1313676404&sr=8-10
