my god you should audition for blues clues or something - so much babytalking it actually sickens me
Check if squirrel has an eBay account.
He'll probably sell it on there.
Theres probably some old lady somewhere out there that has and sets a couple of these few thousand dollar traps every night under her kitchen sink to help combat her minor rodent problem and she probably has no idea how valuable they are...
Uhhhhhuhh
That raccoon playing with the rat while standing up on his back legs was the cutest thing ever!
Ikr
I hate raccoons. With a passion
Like a cat does
U sure they were playing
@@dilucsgrapejuice8159 no I can’t be sure it was playing as we are very anthropomorphic, but irregardless , it was really cute🤗
Most guys would be in mortal danger from their wives, if they spent $3000 on a mousetrap.
Lolol true
😅😅 not if they bringing in 30,000 cuz of mouse traps
IMHO You should spent money on whatever You want. I spent around 400$ euros per month for vintage bicycle parts and I'm glad I'm not married or don't have a girlfriend. If a man have a hobby women should appreciate it and if possible enjoy it with You, this or either You should dump her.
@@lxdead5585 If you’re spending money on something, women only know that there’s money not being spent on them.
@@davisyoung4658 Exacly
I really do miss the ways of old... where we as a mature viewing audience are able to choose what we witness. Sad bunch of who who’s ruin it for us all.
because normal people want to see animals die
@@natalieisagirlnow i do
@@natalieisagirlnow you mean pest right?
Well at least we get to see the animals eat.
@@natalieisagirlnow ok I got a question for you. You store food for your animals do you want me to come and eat and then crap and pee on it? As much as I like mice and rats they're nasty as hell
I'm impressed that you used such a valuable piece of history! It still works better than some new designs.
It must have been an honor for that mouse to get killed by such a valuable trap!
It'll give him something to talk about when he get's home.
@@ROGER2095 lmao.
I love the pest mouse rat mice died XD
A mouse that was caught in a $3,000 mouse trap that there is like caviar in the animal kingdom The world's most expensive not so alive mouse
Cast iron is brittle. I wonder how many cast iron traps cracked way back when and were discarded...
Between that and rust it might explain why those that are left are worth $3000.
I'd think if the jaws were padded by the mouse head/neck, there wouldn't be much impact on the jaw.
Servus, 6:39 the mousetrap has got the blessing of the holy spirit. the mouse risen from the dead. Hallelujah ^^
don't trade that trap.
Hallelujah*
@@farfreez6367 you must have nothing better to do.
@@shannonb1146 what i cant correct somebody without being called out? If they had a problem the could of said something smh
@@farfreez6367 where you the one that flagged my video? Lmao you really have nothing better to do. It makes no difference to me if it's age restricted. I uploaded it ages ago to show a friend a clip. Find a hobby and stop liking your own comments while you're at it.
I just wanted to say how much I enjoy your channel. I love animals, but rats and mice are a problem for many people around the world, and you make it interesting trying to solve this problem.
FINALLY, an animal lover who understands people having mice and rats problems.
Your every video is really awesome. I love your your all videos. ❤👍
4:40 🎶 Wild, Wild turkeys...
Couldn’t keep _me_ away 🎶
5:50 🎶 just _Eat it!_ _Eat it!_
Pick up that rat and delete it! 🎶
lololol ..... OMG, I needed that! lol ...
I love how you played with the spring jaw the whole time 🤣
With how that raccoon was holding the mouse, I thought I was going to see a reenactment of Hamlet. "Alas, poor Yorick!"
No offence at all... but these youtube rules make this channel like 50% less fun to watch. Not getting to see the trap work in the wild is a bummer. No one wants to see a mouse enter a box then jump cut to the end of the video. TH-cam is hot garbage.
He could show it but then he wont get paid
Damn Joe, coming in hot. I guess he should try psychedelics right?
This trap is too beautiful. I think it'll make a good decor in the kitchen and have other guess what it is.
A nutcracker for the walnut bowl. Napkin holder.
Just remember to activate it so that no guests steals it :p
The raccoon is saying, "I'll drop it as many times as I want. It's mine!"
That raccoon was on the alert - he's probably related to the one that got caught in Shawn's raccoon trap over the summer :)
5:36 - Literally playing with his food.
‘Chomp chomp chomp’ .. Shawn is literally the most wholesome dude.

Why wouldn't you bend that nail over! 😂 was giving me an anxiety attack 😂😂
You stole my post! lol, I was wondering the same thing.
Nailed it! XD
@@Raterex I see what you did there...
@@Raterex Well played sir, well played.
Very interesting, Mr. Shawn. I'm glad you procured a new piece for your collection. This channel, because of you, is very interesting and I look forward to every new episode!! I wish the best to you and your family.
I was involved in the last number of years restoring certain antiques, parts were very hard to find and when you found an original part, it was not unusual to disassemble it and have a mold made to reproduce those parts. If I were you and that was a $3000 mouse trap, I would disassemble it and have a company that specializes in castings remake that trap.
It looks like three large parts to me a top bottom and a spring easily re-produced nowadays, 3-D printed to start with and then with cast-iron. It will help you get some of your money back. If it makes you feel better mark them as reproductions, I would.
Maybe the trap actually is a reproduction?
How could you tell the difference, if it was well made?
I once collected ww2 artifacts, and there you really had to be careful. Due to high prices, a lot of fakes, I mean “reproductions” were made.
@@jakeforrest I'd assume they carbon date them, to determine the age.
@@jakeforrest
That’s a very good point, I hadn’t considered that I should know better. It is extremely well-made and today’s cast-iron products because of the contaminated iron that they’re using usually don’t look that good. We had to specify what we wanted it made out of and never reclaimed material. I once drove 200 miles north to New York, I lived in Pennsylvania and went to Falconer N,Y, sent the part to Minnesota, had it re-cast. Then went to Warren Ohio for 30 hours of machine work. Additionally they were brass parts that had to be made as well and then back up to New York to replace the item to the owner. Restoration doesn’t come cheap.
Thanksgiving at Shawn's house 😂😁
I was somewhat surprised the spring was strong enough to either kill or hold a mouse. It didn't look it.
I thought there would not be sufficient travel between the jaws as it is rather small in size, thus not enough acceleration to snap the mouse's head.
@@Raterex
That, too. Apparently mice aren't tough. Who knew?
That wlracoon was like: *um hey, im gonna take this umm you dont mind right? *... *Chomp Chomp mmm... jumyyy*.. *that was really jummy :) thanks shawn*.
Racoon going, "this camera is a sign from the provider of meals"
Now I'm curious. Which traps did you trade away for this one?
3:14 I made that joke before on this channel, it didn't seem like anyone got the joke... 😆
I saw it
I made it too. lol
Ditto.
I loved seeing the hen turkey with her poults, so cute!
👍👍 Thank you Shawn...again! I hope you and your family Wonderful weekend!🌞💖
I never realized there was such a collector market for mouse traps.
Dying in style
😂😂😂 that squirrel said..I got my own mice to fend off 😅😅
That squrriel at 4:17 be like : hey cousin mike that you uh cousin mike?
I was also surprised those turkey's didn't gobble down that mouse.
Turkeys don’t eat meat
@@dianep3071
Wild Turkeys will eat almost anything, including lizards and snakes. I don't see why a domesticated turkey would revert to a wild diet if given the chance. Protein and fat are high-value nutrients.
@@-danR Wild ones maybe. Mine never did. I even tryed. Only things they would Eat is bugs and their other stuff and I free ranged them all the time. And I live out in the country
@@-danR guess not mice. Lol
"My! Shawn's Fine Dining is quite packed tonight!"
kinda miss hearing him say "just give it a little flick" or was it ""just give it a little flip"
The latter.
"Daddy, why can't I go to college?"
"Sorry child, I spent it all on mousetraps"
"Daddy, how are we going to pay for college?
"Mousetrap TH-cam Videos"
Ha, burn. They'll probably go to a better college because of his works.
@@ShawnWoodsMousetrapMonday oh boy cheese *screams”
@@ShawnWoodsMousetrapMonday heck yeah! Hope you make enough to retire. How funny would that be.
3 thousand dollars only gets you a degree in gender studies ☹️
While there are guys who never get their toys out of the box in fears that they might loose their collectors value, my boy Shawn over here is not afraid to take his $3000 dollar mouse trap to the barn to catch real mice!! this guy is such a boss
Alternate title: "Mouse falls for oldest trick in the book"
I was sure that raccoon was going to start juggling for us.
You know you've got a collecting addiction when you don't accept cash lol
1879?! That’s incredible! With how sought after that trap is, it must pretty rare to find one for sale at any price. Definitely a 10 out of 10 for cool factor👍🏻
'awe, come on, you always have something tasty to snack on in front of these cameras! where are you hiding it?'
I know that I am being semantic, but I prefer to set up snacks on the beaver dam rather than back yard
Omg the little Turkeys are so cute!!!
And they look tasty as well !!!
This mousetrap is in incredible condition! Amazing!
Who would have thought back then that, hey I bet my mouse trap will be in a museum some day lol
Really great video Shawn! Was really fun to see the wildlife in your backyard. And I do believe we saw a little mouse who may be featured in future video! The raccoon was a hoot! Seemed very distracted, in fact I wasn't even sure that it actually ate the mouse because it was just handling it and dropping it and sort of seemed distracted and indifferent. What a difference from the skunk who was on that scent trail like a bloodhound.
Amazing to think that there are other collectors of unique and antique mouse and rat traps.
I'd love to see the mouse trap trade values out there. Which ones did Shawn have to part with to land a $3000 antique?
Riick: Oops it looks like u just used it that’s gonna cost u at least 2500
You should make a silicone mold of this, and sell reproductions on your page. Id buy a few if they weren't too expensive as reproductions.
Yes, maybe a little stronger springs. I would buy them as they seem much better than cheap modern ones.
° You're gettin' some chunky mice in your barn.
° That raccoon better appreciate that $3000 meal.
° At this point, I'm betting that the local wildlife, especially the raccoons & skunks, actually go looking for your cameras in order to get a free meal.
XD
4:20 turkey trying to get some camera time.
I regularly watch an air rifle channel where it shows squirrels/rabbits/pigeons getting shot in the head. All shown start to finish. I don't understand how TH-cam will allow that but not a mouse in a trap...
They aren't just for entertainment. Knowing where to shoot an animal to dispatch it in the fastest least painful way is educational. It takes an enormous amount of skill to make these shots more than 80% of the time and at ranges over 25 yards. It's also a good way to make money and help with public health (how would you feel if you knew no one was trying to control the population of the rats on the farm where your milk comes from)?
@@peacefulscrimp5183 I'm well aware of that. I own a farm and regularly target all the pests I mentioned with a selection of air rifles round the yard/fields and shotguns in the air. My comment was questioning youtube's apparently inconsistent policies on showing such things and being very unfair to Shawn's channel
Such a variety of creatures visit your garden, I think they know you hand out tasty mouse snacks
Saying the two springs weren't strong isn't really fair... they were probably strong when the trap was new; they just wore out. Nice to see they were still strong enough to catch a mouse.
LOVED the turkeys!
That’s a beautiful trap.
the turkey sqaud when the rat was set up: stomp stomp stomp stomp
That mouse trap looks f-ing AWESOME
All those turkeys.... Thanksgiving dinner/TH-cam get together at Shawn's house this year! 😃
That is a very smart looking trap.
Congratulations Shawn woods
I see my dinner for thanks giving
You should show us your collection of traps shawn
The trail camera footage is so relaxing to watch before bed.
Wow that looks like it could have been made a week ago let alone 100 years ago
That's such a cool and over the top trap, I love it!
That took a lot of time and effort to make. Cast iron during the 19th century was done with pride. Ironic so much care went into a mouse trap.
Did we see that Squirrel later when the mouse was on the ground as snack? The thief!
That's a wonderful life lesson. The early bird gets the worm, but the second mouse gets the cheese.
I heard that life lesson from my grandfather many, many years ago.
You had a thief stealing traps?! Oh my gosh!
It's the suspense that gets me.
Loved the design on the mousetrap. Nice score!
If you want no squirrel to take the trap, I would have made the nail more hook shaped after or used a nail with bigger head
Squirrel and Turkeys all said we don’t want no stinking mouse, but leave it up to a Panda Bandit to take it. I wish the skunk would have gotten it.
Turkeys don't eat meat.
It's the nose of the cats face, not a heart.
"The early bird gets the worm".... or, in this case, "the early bird IS the worm".
As soon as we saw that trap close we knew it was R.I.P for broski
This dude scares the hell out of me and because of that I respect him
That raccoon looked like he was rolling the mice as if he was rolling play-doh
The price went up because everybody became interested in mousetraps because of Moustrap Monday!!!
Only of ppl will remember his old videos about spears and arrows
What do I hear in the background of your video?
Is it extremely warm for you guys this time of year?
I can’t believe I’m subscribed to this guy... 😂
Why not? You are now part of a large family of 1.4 million.
Way to go Shawn , 3000 $$$
Nice 👍. Mike Espo .
Do you ever hunt those turkeys?
I'm sad we don't have turkeys here in Germany
@@jnas273 I think those huge deer you have around Rhien Main air base make up for the lack of turkeys.
@@jnas273 I'm sad for you, friend. They are such cool birds and their meat is delicious. I prefer it over chicken any day
@@Walter-wo5sz You are right 😁
I would be a pretty dumb thief because the last thing I would ever think to steal from someone would be a mouse trap. Who knew they could be so valuable!
he raccoon looked as if he was trying to wash the mouse, but there was no water, and the washing motions made him keep dropping it.
Mouse Trap, Working condition, Tested.
Other mouse: You killed Kenny!!!
You bastards!
You have likely answered this in a past video, but where did you get the list of mousetraps? Is it from patents? And if it is from patents, does it list patents worldwide, or do you have to search country to country? I don’t plan on collecting mousetraps, but the information might be valuable for me if I want to start a collection someday. Thanks!
That one Turkey was huge.
Dude, thanksgiving dinner just walked by!
you werent even phased when that trap came down at the end on your finger, either the mouse must have suffered a little or you are used to this, i used to set dozens of snap traps they would at times snap on me, rat or mouse and they all kinda suckedin the end it is nice to see a 100+ year old trap preserved and still working!
Great video and a very cool old mousetrap Shawn, thank you!
How about a video of feeding any/all animals that come to your video feeding sites?
I'd enjoy that and I bet others would too.
