Description:

Manufactured c. 1971-1979, this is a desirable example of a Hudson Bay Kodiak Bear Trap manufactured by Herter's Inc. Established in Waseca, Minnesota, in 1937, Herter's was a prominent mail order sporting and outdoor goods retailer that was a major inspiration for many modern sporting goods suppliers. Herter's appears to have began producing various traps starting in the 1960s, with the first bear traps appearing in 1971 and continuing until 1979. This massive trap measures approximately 43 1/4 inches long with the setting springs extended fully. The pressure plate has the standard model and manufacturer markings in raised letters and a pierced through "H" at the center.

Rating Definition:

Fine overall, showing an attractively aged brown patina overall with some scattered light oxidation. Mechanically untested but appears to be functional.
