It’s not in pristine condition,,,def has its fair share of rust on it,, not pitted though.and one of the springs are broken,, but other than that,,, it’s a genuine 2 trigger.
I don’t know where I’d even begin to find a replacement spring,, and I’d like to eliminate the rust..without destroying it. More than likely I’ll keep it with the other collection traps on the wall.
Any suggestions on how to clean it up?? I don’t think rust is considered a patina… lol

I just did the ole diluted vinegar for a day, then brushed a couple of em. The others I left as is, just added a coat of WD40. They’re kinda common here. Buy a box of old junk traps at a local auction and there’s sometimes one or 2 in the pile.

Yes, they are not rare or valuable by any means. If memory serves me correctly, they made 5 different "models" but they have little collector value.


I have nothing clever to put here.
