Gin Trap

Added as a historical record. Farmers used these back when I was a teen. I had a dog at the time and found this by the side of a path. I 'sprung it' and took it home. Many year later, and with a coat of rust fix, I came across it in the cellar. It's mechanism works in a similar way to a mouse trap except the animal puts its foot on the plate, the trap springs....
