On the local consignment sale. Just says BEAR TRAP on the pan. Nothing special I think. At least 24" long. [Linked Image]

Not sure on what it is worth but would be interesting in buying it though.

Not collectable I don't think so wouldn't do anything over $300. But them just advertising its a bear trap will drive the price up even if it isn't worth much.

Thanks for that offer. If it was in my area I would try to get it.

So, the sale is tomorrow and is an auction then?

Gary Benson, if you can get it for $200 and under including shipping I would take it. I would send a money order to you I don't have paypal.

That is if GritGuy doesn't want it. The total I would pay is $200 and that would include shipping.

It looks pretty good, and it looks like it would be a useable trap, right?

Thanks Gary

I doubt it has ever been set. I didn't see setter clamps with it. It does have teeth which I believe makes it illegal to use. It does look like a functional trap. I have no idea what shipping would be but I'm sure it's substantial.

You decide Gary if you want to buy it but I would take it for 200$ or less that would include shipping. I can't imagine it shipping being over 25$ or 30$ though.
Either way you know I would take it off your hands for that price. Thanks Gary no hard feeling and which way.

There are two of them. Two different sellers
35" long and I think a strong bear would year one apart. Maybe 25# weight

No traps. I stood around for 3 hrs waiting for guns to sell. A Massachusetts Arms 410 sold for $250. I quit there. I got froze out and left.
