(2) wooden mouse traps

Here are two wooden mouse traps dating back to the start of the 20th century.
Photos #1 and photo #2 show a trap that doubles as a toy for the kids, because the trap catches the mouse live and the mouse can enter the circular area and run on the wheel in a rotating pattern, entertaining the kids.
Photos #3 and #4 shows a trap that is not so nice to the mouse. It is called a deadfall mouse trap. The bait sets on a paddle in the middle of the heavy wooden block, and when the mouse tilts the paddle, the block deadfalls on the mouse and surely sends it to the next world.
