I just got a spring clap trap today for my own trap collection but it was not the old type I was hoping for, it was a modern powder coated copy I'd be interested to see what yours looks like MT, PM me if you want with a pic and a price OTC Link to post Share on other sites

Let's have a look, please ~ just out of curiosity. I have an original and authentic GILPA " Hoodie " trap here. Fresh net provided by our own 'Ricky NPP'. I consider it a User nowadays. I wouldn't mind a couple more of the type. Nothing wrong with powder coating, is there? Come on; Show us yours and, if ye like, I'll show ye mine. Mine's older, of course, but it still works!

anita&paul 0 Posted September 11, 2007 Report Share Posted September 11, 2007 this is our old clap trap (magpie) now ready for the dump seen better days................ nita and paul Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Ditch_Shitter Posted September 11, 2007 Report Share Posted September 11, 2007 Cheers, MT! And now I've seen that one, I honestly wonder if it's worth my fetching my own one out and shooting it mate! They're basicly identical! OTC; What on earth's ye problem with that, mate? Looks fine to me. Powder coating? I bettcha if they had powder coating available back then they'd have used it on the originals too Like I just said to ye in PM; I'd sooner Two, useable, any old traps of this sort. Rather than the one which I'm scared to death some poxy cow might step on and wreck for me. But those modern ones are So bloody expensive anyway ....!

OldTrapCollector 376 Posted September 11, 2007 Report Share Posted September 11, 2007 OTC; What on earth's ye problem with that, mate? Looks fine to me. Powder coating? It just looks so clinical and new and not in keeping with my collection Ditch, I am sure as a trap to use it would be fine, but in a collection of ancient antiques then it just doesn't go. A bit like a row of Model T Fords with a Ford Fiesta parked in the middle. OTC Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Ditch_Shitter Posted September 11, 2007 Report Share Posted September 11, 2007 And again, as just touched on in PM; How do ye think the Fuller 'Garden Trap' looked, amongst a load of Gin Traps, once upon a time, mate? The most expensive / least 'desirable' traps of today will become the Most valuable and violently Desirable traps of twenty years time ~ once everyone realises they're not available any more and that they've dipped out. I can clearly remember when Lloyd Traps were openly advertised for seven and six! Outrageous load of money, in those days, for one trap! Same as the Fuller. And Now look!
