So, early in my life, I never imagined I would be this fascinated by a history of mouse traps. I guess you never know who you will become.

[@Savage3OO6]

I say the same all the time! My passion is duck hunting (didn't develop until my 20s) and my occupation is an engineer that designs heating & cooling (HVAC) systems. So at 43 years old I like to say that I did not grow up thinking that my life would revolve around ducks and ducts, but here I am.

[@delfin7461]

I still don't know how I found this channel, but I've been watching for years!!!

[@mtkoslowski]

You know Shawn, you are most probably one of the foremost mousetrap experts in the world. Not only do you have the knowledge but you also have a notable collection of traps. How about _you_ author a book, not only on traps but on trapping techniques that would help both professionals and homeowners? You’re extremely knowledgeable and self-effacing. I’d buy any book you wrote and I’m sure so would many others.

[@willierants5880]

I have a feeling... stay tuned.

[@TNT003]

I'd be a buyer

[@hasannaomir.3037]

I’ve been waiting for you. This was so well worth the wait. Actual historical pieces!!!! You are so exciting!!! Thank you so very much for all of your diligent and earnest work. Looking to your next class. High-Five, Professor!!!☺️

[@tpl608]

Anyone else hear the excitement and happiness in Shawn's voice, his inflection, as he describes these traps? Lol

[@julian75411]

I hope this series continues. Love seeing your collection and recognizing some from your videos along the way. Thank you for this awesome video

[@slamrock17]

Love this history of the traps. I would love to see more.

[@Fluxcin]

This was fascinating! I can't believe you caught a mouse in the diving board trap without even intending to!

[@urban713]

mouse trap history sounds like an very interesting serie a lot of people would watch.

[@darlatidwell6255]

All of those traps are amazing and amazingly old, and it's also amazing that you can find so many of them, especially the rarest. Thanks to you I have greatly reduced my mouse population and I really appreciate you for that Shawn, TYVM !! Keep up the great work and this channel. 👍

[@jpendowski7503]

An excellent and informative review of your collection. Thank you for keeping it moving and giving an editorial flair to special features. Would enjoy another episode from another time period. Cheers.

[@MARKE911]

That is an amazing collection, thanks for showing them

[@terrireddish2522]

I love history and I also like watching the different types people used to try to catch them,I came across your channel when I thought I had a problem with mice n rats but 🤞 never saw any evidence of rats even though I have a rat trap set up, but I have had a few mice, love your videos and I would love to see more history videos ♥️👍

[@geraldhettel3824]

Very impressive collection you have accumulated!

[@petere3015]

Just amazing and entertaining. Whenever I watch a video about such old contraptions I gauge it with my grandfather who was born in 1895. Using that year as a point of reference, I am amazed that there was patented technology before even his time!

[@daves.9479]

Long before. "The United States Patent Office was created with the Patent Act of 1790"

[@JOECorsoNova]

I’m sure you e discussed this but, what sparked your fascination with mouse traps? I’d love to know! Thank you

[@cathelinam9064]

This was a great history lesson. Impressive collection you have. I would def like to see your other collection pieces with the history.

[@amancalleddave.3547]

Really enjoyed seeing those, genuinely. Be good to see the rest, also a good idea to do it in time periods.

[@WhatAboutTheBee]

More please! This was very interesting!

[@AlexSmith-gr4hp]

What surprised me most was the lack of 3D printed mousetraps from that period.

[@johncoops6897]

Yet he did show us a 2D printed version of them!

[@elNathNY]

Love this. Have you tried hot melt glue for the book pages?

[@johncoops6897]

Never do that!

[@TurtleDude05]

So cool. Thanks for sharing.

[@almusur1781]

That was really interesting. Please keep it up.

[@markmcminn5100]

Great stuff Shawn. :)

[@tpl608]

You could do a pan of the whole collection to end a period video

[@lunkydog]

Very interesting video. Love to see more.

[@milkbag988]

Hey does anyone know any good ways to stop a rat from getting away with your trap cause I have had two traps disappear idk if a cat pulled the traps away with the rat inside because I put them under my house. or do people have any tips for killing the rats off

[@tpl608]

Do the German mousetraps conquer the French mousetraps on the shelf? Do the French mousetraps run away or surrender? Too soon? ;-)

[@RomanoPRODUCTION]

thank you Daddy Shawn. Very soon with the twilight of the occidental world, we will need mouse traps to survive. Hoping it is not to eat mice.

[@roryvonbrutt7302]

Why isn't it on Monday

[@lightdark00]

Him: I earned 15k on youtube! Her: Please put that towards a nice car for me honey. Him: Umm, I got these cool 19th century mousetraps. Her:... (meaning he's not sleeping in the same bed with her for a while)

[@johncoops6897]

Doesn't matter... at night he's out in the barn with the field camera.

[@ANetInTime]

Very interesting

[@MyMy-tv7fd]

I wish I could sub twice to this

[@mike81399]

👍 need a better free platform, where all the content can be shown again.

[@sophiathekitty]

I think my cat recognizes your voice or that you're showing mouse traps. Not sure if he thinks there's gonna be mice or just likes your videos.

[@Grasshopper.80]

Talk about invested in your career.

[@timsmith9169]

👍👍👍

[@Jawst]

I bet there are thousands of mouse traps and rat traps hiding away and the corners of garages and sheds ready to go in the skip😂🙈 hi rummage through bins all the time and have found thousands of pounds were that stuff from multiple HD projectors too expensive lab equipment. Humans are such a wasteful creatures

[@tpl608]

Why racist in nature? Educating your followers does not mean you support racism.

[@terryv]

Shawn - I wish I could get you to not manhandle the fragile paper labels on your antique traps. Every time you brush against the paper with your fingertip or fingernail, you risk flicking off a brittle speck of paper, thereby reducing the value of your trap. Please be careful!

[@022107]

He could start a museum with all those mousetraps

[@willierants5880]

Absolutely spellbinding. Superbly presented. Shawn your passion was all over this and your well worn book. Thank you for going through this. What a treat. I also enjoyed the story of the rogue mouse stinking up your Peerless. Too funny.

[@SimplyAlteringMaterials]

The "next video" I'd like to hear the story of how you acquire your mouse traps to add to your collection!

[@lettucesalad3560]

I think someone is trapped by mousetraps

[@owenmcbride1]

Third 🥉

[@weegeelindsey]

Thank you Shawn for making this video! I love absolutely everything that comes from the 19th Century! My favorite trap that I own is the 1877 Eagle Claw Trap!

[@TNT003]

In all my time collecting that one has always been elusive to me

[@weegeelindsey]

@@TNT003 It is a very elusive and unique trap for sure! Thanks for the reply!

[@gkeyman565]

Great pile of trap and death machines, thanks for the view !!!!! Have a great day, catch a mouse today !!!!

thanks

[@reggieman02626]

Ive been working so crazy hours and when i hear it was Monday i panicked lol great video man

[@JesseSwaney]

They're so brutal. Really cool to see, but I can't help but to feel bad for all the rats and mice that have suffered because of these devices. A necessary evil, I know. Just can't help but to put myself in their little rat shoes..

[@gwiyomikim5988]

Thank you Shawn. The history of mousetraps is an interesting chapter in the history of mice and men.🙂

[@Lil_Devil]

You know it's a good day when Shawn posts an almost 15 min video. ❤️

[@ObywatelKane]

"SHAWN'S TRAP" Start your own rodent trap company!

[@Tintinsansmilou]

My goodness… so many historical different mouse traps 🪤 what a knowledge you share, thank you for all your videos. Really interesting - you are really a reference. Thanks for sharing. Hello from Switzerland 🇨🇭

[@phillyflash43]

Your collection will only grow in value, someday you'll be a mousetrap millionaire! Better have insurance.

[@harrisonlewis6853]

Where do you keep all these. Hopefully in a dedicated barn on your property.

[@TesserId]

Never seen any of this on Antiques Road Show.

[@deshaefromarounthawayricha7324]

I THIS IN CRACKHEAD SPEED!

[@acerone10]

WOW there are so many ways to trap a mouse.

[@charlesmangum3108]

Love your channel!

Woow 🐭

[@mobilenoel5054]

Thank you

[@tpl608]

As always Shawn, gloves Shawn gloves. Protect yourself and your family. ;-)

[@johncoops6897]

To protect against what? Splinters?

[@jasonhilliker492]

That is a very impressive collection. Have you thought about rebuilding or restoring some of them?

[@johncoops6897]

I'm pretty sure that would destroy the value.

[@honeypie735]

Thanks a lot for this history video. I'd love to see more of these.

[@jodiemcclure7854]

I love the huge variety of traps you have

[@MyNathanking]

12:05: Whole lotta mice dying by strangulation in those horrible 1870's --- the worst of times for mice.

[@garryhammond3117]

Very amazing history lesson for a problem that has plagued mandkind for centuries! - Thanks!

[@jimfausset8122]

Thank you very interesting and informative and congratulations to all the traps you do have that is awesome thank you for showing those to us

[@DelGTAGrndrs]

Awesome video very informative

[@martinmitchellhunter7087]

Do you think you could make a working replica of the disney Cinderella wire trap?

[@cnjhendricks]

the history is super interesting. I imagine there was fierce competition back in those days.

[@jeannettefrye5086]

Awesome video, enjoyed it immensely. You sure aren't mickey mousing around about it.🐀🐁🐭

[@blumax413]

Shawn Please help would like to know the value of the Peerless mouse trap. What they sell for. Saw one in antique store but the vendor didn’t know what the value is.

[@housesteiner7783]

Yeah it's a good thing you have a KZbin channel to feed your obsession 🙃

[@dclawnmaintenanceandsnowre4099]

That was awesome you ever thought of designing your own mousetrap

[@patcolston2901]

Amazing how we get addicted to our hobbies !! Thanks

[@tpl608]

Still would love to see a video of a trap you designed and built. Maybe a theme like Mickey mouse and a rolling trap to add your mouse paradise? The top would have his ears. Lol

[@rachelplatt8632]

This was awesome! Thanks for sharing, I really enjoyed it 😀

[@tonyholt90]

Yes show more ! Really really interesting to see your collection.👍

[@azurehouse7611]

Time to run to the local antique mall and see if i can find some old traps. Keep these historical videos coming please.

[@vwvw4]

Really enjoyed this video of historical mousetraps. Hate to admit the story of a mouse perusing your entire trap collection and then getting caught was amusing, sage advice to regularly check your traps. Thanks for sharing all these traps, looking forward to the next episode.

[@midge486]

Thanks Shawn👍🏻 great insight into some of your traps and the history behind them. I would still love to see the whole collection of 2000+ though🙏🏻

[@MrMark2024]

Shawn, I would love to see more of your mouse, rat collection of vintage traps. I enjoy the history on each and every one of of your traps. They are so interesting and I enjoy when you talk about the history of the many traps in your collection. Even if you could do one history a month, that would be nice. But I have to be honest with you, I would love to see two history videos a month. You have a wonderful collection and it sure would be interesting to learn about mouse traps that are 3 or 400 years old or more. Share with us what you paid for the traps and what they would be worth today. If you could work that into your Mouse trap Mondays, that would be so nice. Thank you,Shawn, for sharing your knowledge of traps with your audience. Thanks again and I look forward to your next video.🐀

[@saintguardian3639]

I have to say that is so cool. Hope someone copies/remakes these traps because they are interesting.

[@freibier]

Great collection! Now I just need to find a youtube channel about moose traps. "The moose enters this door, steps on the teeter-totter and the door closes ..."

[@toolmakerbest1584]

How about you add your own design, and call it "Hotel California"! 😎 Great video, and very well done! Looking forward to the next issue in this series! 👍

[@tpl608]

It is not excercising. It is nervous and trying to escape

[@kieranfoster902]

Great video. Yes please. More history would be good

[@ThomasLeonard454]

A book review along with the most of the actual traps is a 12 on a 10 scale. I am baffled as to why you would catch mice or rats and then let them go? I know you say some are part of the eco system. They can be part of someone else's eco system but I would take them way out of town, then it becomes a fuel cost issue. "Oh what a tangled web we weave, when we first practice to de*****." I do Not mean you Shawn, hope You know who I mean tho.

[@Jay22222]

Pokémon’s tagline: “Gotta Catch Em All” has never been more applicable or insightful. “Oh, ‘19th Century Mousetraps patented in the US’? The book is always free... But the mousetraps are gonna cost ya!”

[@johnlord8337]

Neat collection - albeit I have been a glass bottles and fruit jar collector.

[@TNT003]

That's cool, I collected bottles for a while but now I'm selling them

[@tpl608]

How many years have you been collecting?

[@christopherrodriguez6137]

Really good history video we need more like that
