This Tiny Rusty "Bear trap" is actually a trap for mink or muskrats. It dates somewhere in the early 20th century. It is a restoration project I never intend to use for humane reasons but I thought it would make a neat little project.

It was very rusty. A lot rustier then I anticipated. I could not going for a like new finish as I would have had to remove all the pitting and in doing so I would have taken away most of the metal rendering the trap useless.

It now has a hot blued finish that should last for a good long while with proper upkeep.

Thank you for watching.
