Description: | Light Game, Deer or Rabbit trap. The chain would have been used to secure the trap to the ground. (See BIMW2 for method of trapping). These could be made with single or double springs, but it was recommended that double springs would be required for traps over 8 inches for strength. They were also use for trapping deer-like animals such as antelopes. For this reason, they were often exported to countries that had huge numbers of these beasts, such as Africa.
