Any idea on the dates of those pic's? They are from A.J. Hardy’s “Steel Traps” from 1907 I believe.

I am guessing that is a locking pin (U-shaped?) of sorts he has in his free hand? He's probably putting a nail into the bottom of the jaw post

Back in the day wolf and bear trappers using footholds carried a trapwrench in their pocket to remove the jaw post nut in case they needed to release themselves.

So cool. Can we imagine the pride those fellas had back then getting a picture taken with thier catch.
swampgas chili and schmidt beer makes for a deadly combo
