Blue Rock Trap

Gary Cripps · 07-08-2015, 04:57 PM

A friend and I picked up a lot of old sporting equipment today. One of the items was a Blue Rock Trap---- Model of 1890. Working condition with most of the paint. I have to settle up with the friend and divvy up the items. Would someone care to comment on the value? It is not for sale. Just want to be fair.
Thanks

an antique shop near here has had one for a while- works but no paint- if I remember right he has around $90 on it

did I mention he has had it for a while at that price

I have bought and sold several over the years. Mint condition in original paint (almost never found for obvious reasons - sort of like a Trojan) = $350-$450. Usual wear and tear and patina but with no missing parts and not a rust bucket = $125 $175; beat up per usual with some missing or non-original parts = $65 -100 bucks, all depending on who wants it, for what, and how bad.

I would love to see a picture.

Here is a picture of the thrower and some other things picked up on the same day. There were about 80 Muskrat streatchers along with some mink and fox. I guess the shotgun now makes me an Elsie collector also. She has 30" barrels choked full and fuller. It is a grade 2 with ejectors and Damascus barrels.
