[The one 8,399]

Ive been buying the odd trap on ebay as i just fancy having a odd old one , Ive bought a juby trap but the picture on ebay shows the trap jaws are uneven and every picture i look at jubys are level its the imbra traps that the trap jaws are at differnt levels if you get what im on about apart from having the name stamped on it is there any other diffrence between the two

But to confuse matters more there are two types of Juby and two types of Imbra ... To all intents and purposes anyway!

@ Old Trap Collector...

 

Back in the day,..after the field tests had been completed, these old traps were often returned to to the Min of Agriculture offices, and left to rust their lives away....

It really was a criminal waste of resources,...a pal of mine once rescued a hundred or so miscellaneous vermin traps, from out of their official rubbish skip!
