 Sorry for the delay in responding guys - I have been away from the PC
As quite correctly ID'd earlier it is Swedish and made as a pike trap for setting under the ice. Prices vary tremendously (as they do with all traps) depending upon condition, rarity and how much two collectors wish to pay!! OTC |

were they an efective way of taking pike? | ||

Very effective mate

Proof of their efficacy is they were manufactured in large numbers and by several different manufacturers,they were the gin traps of the piscatorial world
