Does any one have any knowledge of this trap. I can make out the name T.Alexander C and 1887 stamped on the bottom.

Can a moderator move it for me? Not sure how to move it.

Ya gonna need Nancy for that one. Go outside with a flash lite held at 22 degrees facing the moon and yell 3 times wissmiss wissmiss wissmiss or is it misswiss.

Neat piece.

"Alexander Clutch" trap. I have only seen them in pictures. A rare and spendy collectable trap.. And yours looks to be in very good condition....
Maybe someone with a little more knowledge will chime in with better info on it...

I don't have my "Big Book" here, but I think it's covered in it.

Thanks very much for the info Digger D. By "spendy" what in your opinion would that amount be?

Ol' Smoke, what is this Big book you speak of? And where can I get one?

"The Steel Trap in North America" by Richard Gerstell.
Amazon $40 - $50 and worth it. No prices though.

That is a great book lots of info. To compliment it, you will need Andreski & Parr Trap Collectors Price Guide.

Thanks! Ill have to look into those publications.

Word of advise,,,Do some research before you sell it,,

Thank you Paul.
