MAC006Description
Zephyr A. Macabee invented an effective gopher trap in the basement of his home at 110 Loma Alta Avenue, built in 1894/5. Gophers were causing a great deal of damage to orchard trees, and so Zephyr created the trap using a pair of pliers, some wire and a piece of metal. He obtained a patent for his trap in 1900, and the traps are still manufactured at the same location today. Zephyr's wife Elizabeth is sitting on the front steps with her little dog. MAC006Collection
