Artist Notes Although I think it would be fair to say that the majority of people from city environments along with the younger members of our society will probably never have encountered these steel jaw animal traps as they have been out of production and illegal to use in the UK for many decades. The function of this page is primarily to cast some light on the subject of the gin trap for the benefit of the casual enquirer or the budding trap collector by describing briefly what it is, its operation and method of use, the more common variations in manufacture and style that may be encountered, and to outline some of the various alternatives to the standard 'gin' that exist. The hobby of trap collecting encompasses an enormous range of traps designed for just about every conceivable application and originating from across the globe. Attempting to cover them all would be virtually impossible on a web page like this, therefore I will only be dealing with traps of UK origin here. The name 'gin trap' is given to a mechanical trap designed to catch an animal (or a human!) by the leg using spring operated jaws either with or without a serrated edge or teeth. The word 'gin' is believed to be derived from the word 'engine', which was used centuries ago to describe any mechanical device, and indeed traps were referred to as 'engines' in literature from around the 17th century. The word 'gin' came into being presumably as a result illiteracy, mishearing of the word 'engine' or simple laziness of speech, and as is so often the case with the English language, as a result of common usage this eventually became a noun in its own right Drawn in coloured pens an pencils Your review pays one point and 2 member cents .
