Description: | Rabbit or rat trap. This trap could be made with a smooth jaw or a rounded jaw. The chain would have been used to secure the trap to the ground. This trap is particularly interesting because of the crescent and star logo and ""A1"" stamp used by James Roberts. The ""A1"" symbol denoted superior quality, and the crescent and srar logo allows it to be accurately dated. It was the symbol used to show it was made in 1874. The Crescent and Star logo was also a sign of quality.
