Nice FB page, I never even heard of glass minnow traps. The page mostly shows different folks' collections of glass minnow traps.

I don’t know the exact details, but it might be from the 60s or 70s, and if it’s in good shape, it could be worth a nice sum. You might want to check out some vintage fishing forums or get in touch with collectors who specialize in old gear.

If I wanted an account I would have created one long ago - I don't, hence I haven't.

Yes, wire legs with a wire handle. 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.

Yes, I've checked ebay, but found no such trap. Many other makers, but not creek chub bait co.

I wonder if they work better than the wire mesh minnow traps. I haven't had much luck with those, catch more water snakes than minnows.

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.

I have looked everywhere I have thought and cannot find that one. I would say pretty rare and would guess its got some decent value.
