I bought some muskrat stretchers at a steam engine/tractor show flea market yesterday. In amongst the good stretchers were these old style stretchers.
Does anyone know who made them, and have you ever used them?

Put a piece of wood in the bottom end so you can use push pins and they aren't so bad. Otherwise I think those hooks are a pain. I still have a few hanging in the garage haven't used in many years.

I picked up a few of those and my wife has been starting some neat craft items with them.

Newhouse is correct. And it is correct to say they suck.


I got myself a seniors' GPS.
Not only does it tell me how to get to my destination,
it tells me why I wanted to go there.

Thanks for the info guys. Not planning on using them, just culled them out from the good ones.

If you cut the bottom off each side they make dandy connibear stabilizers.
