This trap is another recent, auction purchase. I had never seen a trap made up of mostly cast iron, and since I collect both cast iron and traps, it became a must have!

I wasn't sure what to expect when it arrived. Man, was I surprised when I unboxed it. It's a big, heavy trap. Most certainly enough to handle wolves and lions? I'm not sure what these traps were made to trap. The drowner makes me think, beaver, but I'm also suspecting that the chain might have been altered?

I couldn't find too much information about the trap when searching online, so I'm hoping someone here can shed some light on it? If you know anything about it, please share what you know, here?

Thanks - No.4

I did another search, and came up with this link to a thread found here on Trapperman;

According to information found in the thread, my trap is a model 750B (beaver model), and the chain is correct. Nice to know.

That chunk of cast iron orta hold a beaver on the bottom for its swift demise.
