That trap started out as a Triumph Easy Set. Which was a double coil originally.

Some one took off one of the coil springs and replaced it with a long spring.

No collector value but would make a Great Wall hanger.

Give it a vinegar bath to clean it up.

It looks like the one in the photo has teeth. Did the easy set come with teeth?

Can you provide a better photo of whats under the jaws?

In the second photo, it looks to me like some one has welded 3 staples to the underside of the jaw to make "teeth". At least that is the way I see it.

What I really like about that trap is that it shows how creative trappers can be with their traps.
