Title: Unique Old Trap
Post by: Carp Commander on October 18, 2014, 04:18:08 PM: Found this old foothold today. Thought someone might know something about it. Very unique springs. The pan reads "??? Lamb" I'm assuming Blake & Lamb but its not readable. "Hawkins Company South Britian, Conn"

Any ideal what size this one is? Does it have any historic significance or are they very common?
