Description: | Rabbit, small vermin or fox trap and retaining chain. The extra reinforcement around the bait pan may suggest an improvement by J Roberts of securing the bridge (or cross bar) to the stock (the part that holds the bait pan to the trap). This imrovement occured because sometimes, extra security and strength was required. The animal , once trapped, could struggle to such an extent that it could damage the settings on the trap, or even escape. The extra reinforcement also made the trap more stable on the ground.
