Picture No 10639419
Date 1928
Description The Cow and Plate Polecat Trapper
Details

Another ingenious idea from the inventive mind of William Heath Robinson, the gadget king, for a cow and plate pole-cat trapper on the Catskill Mountains. This particular invention is rather grisley, trapping polecats by means of a saucer of milk which is then hoisted up to a small platform where a cage - and death - await!
