Description: | Small vermin trap. Used to trap small birds or mice. The bow shape and the riveting of the spring allowed greater elasticity. It also shows the techniques in making these traps - mostly by hand. It would most likely have been fitted with a chain to allow it to be secured to the ground. As there is no stamp on this trap, and the quality is noticeably poorer, it is unlikely to have been made by James Roberts.
