St. Joseph Museums

The image depicts a novelty item resembling a decorated mousetrap with a patchwork quilt-like design base, featuring various colorful patterns including stripes and geometric shapes. A small, toy mouse made of plastic is attached to the trap, seemingly as a humorous element. There is a piece of sponge-like material placed on the trap's trigger, mimicking bait. Additionally, the trap includes a metallic plaque with engraved text that reads "Craft & Quilt Shop Route 1, Box 215, Jamesport, Missouri 64648," suggesting it might be a promotional item or souvenir from this location. The overall item rests on a textured, white surface.
