St. Joseph Museums

The image shows a metal animal trap, likely designed for small creatures like rodents. The trap is constructed with black metal and consists of curved, tension-loaded springs that snap shut when triggered. A pin-like component on the end indicates where the triggering mechanism might be. There are screws attached to the main body, which may be used for adjusting tension or securing the trap in place. The device is set against a textured, light-colored surface, possibly foam or similar material. A white string tag is attached to one end, suggesting it might be new or unused.
