On a staycation for a few days. First real days off since last year this time. Boys had dentist appointments today so we went to the city. Had time to stop at the antique store and found a trap I don’t have. Only thing I can make out is Stamped on the spring. Animal Trap DL and below that is Made in USA. I’m also a sucker for minnow buckets and found one I don’t have. No markings but pretty cool. Any help on one our both is appreciated. I’m in a area that I have to stand on one leg and hop to get cell coverage so it may be a bit before I can check back. Thanks

cool trap I'm no help

No help on the minnow bucket but the trap is a gopher trap and there still made today not sure who made that one but I have some that I haven’t used since just after buying them, in my opinion not the best design the ones I have were made by Newhouse which is why I kept them but I have seen them in the hardware store made by other companies

What I could find says it's a Newhouse Mole Trap.

Here’s an add from 1918 check out top right

Thanks. I figured it was a mole trap. Good to know never seen one like it. The minnow bucket remains a mystery. Cool design! Never seen one with a lever to drain the bucket. That being said it’s not like I live in the land of great fishing so they maybe common back East.
