When we first saw this Bear Trap, we thought it was a true antique, but we later found out that it was very good copy, or reproduction. The real thing would cost $ 2,000.00 to $ 3,000.00. Anyway, this thing actually works, so be careful with it. It has the large sharp teeth for griping, and the rust was purposely placed on. This trap will look fantastic by your fireplace, or just hanging on a cabin wall. It will look great in a mancave or trophy room also.
