The first is a foot for a wooden pike pole-often used by winter beaver trappers as a feed hook to set den entrances,and other uses. The other thing is a spring to beef up weak longspring traps. I have no clue what the saw thingy is.
Forget that fear of gravity-get a little savagery in your life.

Boco, how are the spring pieces used to beef up springs? are they like tack welded in place?

Looks like these have been identified. How about some more pictures of the other goodies? I was thinking same thing. 3 sheds of trapping stuff would be like Christmas at the North Pole. no doubt, do show!

We never welder or wired the helper springs in place. We just slipped them through the chain holder and they worked fine and remember ever losing one or having one destroyed by coon or mink. We used them mostly on #1 and #1.5. Some of the traps I used were like 50 to 60 years old and had been my grandfathers. If I remember right the helper springs cost like a quarter and a new trap was a $1.35, so was cheaper for rats and an occasional mink to just buy the helper springs. And they worked fine.

I'd have to go look at it to be sure? but I have a pike in the boat that looks close to the same as the one in your picture. I've had it for years and don't recall where I got it? probably at and auction.
