Vintage Lobster Trap Wood Cage

Description

This Vintage Lobster Trap Wood Cage has its origins traced back to Cape Cod in 1810. Typically, wood cage hoops are crafted from branches of spruce, hemlock, or hardwood saplings like maple, birch, or ash. Metal traps, which became popular two decades ago, offer a lighter and more saltwater-resistant option. Additionally, they stack on top of each other with greater efficiency.

Since wood cages are not used as often anymore this item would be a collector’s piece and a perfect addition to a restaurant or bar with a nautical theme.

Please note that this item is available for sale on consignment through a private collector in Cleveland. Each piece in this collection has undergone meticulous preservation, reflecting the collector’s deep passion for maritime history. Within this unique collection, you can expect to discover some truly exceptional pieces that may not be readily available elsewhere on the Internet.
