A rare find for collectors of early American farm and trapping equipment, this antique squirrel trap—stenciled “The American Standard” and made by Sheffield Mfg. Co. of Three Oaks, Michigan—features its original red-painted wood base and rotating cast iron drum mechanism. Dated with patents from July 1891 and July 1898, the trap retains all its original hardware and time-worn surface, showing both rust and patina from over a century of use.
