Has a funnel entrance and a screw on metal cap with holes on the other end. Looks similar to the orvis minnow traps but is marked Creek chub bait co. I've seen many glass traps, but none of this maker.

From what I've read the glass ones worked the best, but being glass , fragile and expensive weren't used as much as wire ones.
