Description: | Light game or deer trap with single bow spring. The trap could also be made with double springs (for greater strength). It was recommended that for traps over 8 inches, double springs would be a better alternative. The spring was bow shaped for greater elasticity. The chain was used to secure the trap to the ground (although they could be made without chains). The interesting stamp "J Roberts Patent" and "J Roberts Mark" suggest that the trap was made earlier in the manufacturing life of James Roberts
