A neighbour was cleaning out his shed and came across these traps. He asked me if I would like them, I said yes..... Goodness knows why, I would never use them. I will probably give them to a country pub as wall hangers.

We have three Gin traps hanging on a wall, they came out of some woods in Bedfordshire maybe 40 years ago and are all still fully functional.

I read somewhere online, that the EU was going to try and ban Fenn traps soon.

This not the for sale forum or a for sale thread.

Abide by the forum rules and then your posts will not be deleted.

This not directed at you Jenks, but a rather persistent member who chooses not to abide by the forum rules.

It appears that there can be a fair bit of money in the right old trap.

Crikey, wish I'd seen that before I sent 20 or so for scrap a couple of years back. 8-)

Ok,so I suppose that's directed at me then.
Am I allowed to Pm Jenks?
I didn't realise my first post had even been deleted,I have had so much computer trouble lately that I thought a glitch caused it to fail sending or something.
Apologies for any wrong doing and "persistant"
