Pat. 1874 - multiple MOUSE TRAP

NOTICE

********NOW OPERATING FROM OUR NEW HEADQUARTERS ********



Now fully operational from the beautiful Pacific North West, we encourage all to keep a close eye as we unpack posted offerings and continue what will be an ongoing effort of unpacking the collection while taking stock with an eye toward thinning out our accumulation of treasures. After years of seeking out and acquiring all manner of quality antique Americana from simple but seldom surviving items of special interest to historically important treasures, Janet and I look forward to offering the fruits of our years of seeking out such to new and appreciative homes.

Best described by our photo illustrations, this vintage wooden mouse trap measures approximately 5 1/8 inches in diameter and is designed to ’accommodate’ as many as five mice. Though, unmarked as to manufacturer relative age is easily discerned by its construction and the utilization of the O. S. Watrous Patent August 25, 1874 design spring loaded trap mechanism. Watrous’s patent description describes a design intended to be more effective and humane compared to existing traps at the time. (see photos) A once common necessity, now a relic of a time when country homes and farms were inundated by small mice, this seldom surviving example remains in untouched working order. Buy with confidence! We are pleased to offer a no questions asked three day inspection with return as purchased on direct sales! Just send us a courtesy e-mail to let us know your item will be returned per these provisions and your purchase price will be refunded accordingly. Thanks for visiting Gunsight Antiques!
