Description: | Dog, Beaver, Fox or Large Animal trap with folding springs (one twisted round - unable to straighten). It would probably have had a chain attached to it originally so that it could be secured to the ground. It could also be made with square jaws, depending on the animal, or without teeth for trapping beavers. The bigger and stronger traps would have been suitable for racoon trapping or larger animals, or of medium strength and size for wild cats and lynx. The folding springs were considered to be more convenient to the trapper than the ordinary double springed traps because being less bulky, they were easier to carry. They were also lighter without losing either strength or effectiveness, and the springs could be moved into manageable positions. They were exported in great numbers to Australasia, India, Russia and America.
