BOGARDUS GLASS BALL TRAP

This is an early Bogardus Glass Ball Trap, manufactured for Capt. Adam Bogardus around 1875-1880. Only a very few of these traps remain today and sell for thousands of dollars, if you can find one. Look at it closely and you can see how simple this machine worked. Value from $3500.00 to $5000.00 depending upon condition.
