48.1 Fully functional trap can be set like any other trap These miniature traps were manufactured between 1925 and 1975 by Melvin Koch, a machinist for the Animal Trap Company of America in Lititz. He made these in the basement of his home on machines that he also designed invented. His creation was so unique that it earned him an honorable mention in the pages of the October 1942 edition of Popular Science magazine.
