What Could This Be

Perhaps it is some type of fly trap. Put bait in the trap and put the cone on facing in. Flies go it, but they can't come out.

Skent: by the cylindrical shape, I'd say it's a round tuit. Someday I hope to own one. But right now I'm too busy to go looking for one. When I do find one, people will ask me how I ever got the time to get a round tuit.

I think it is a fruit fly trap from an old style grocery/general store or fruit stand. Hang it up and bait with a banana.

Or it could be a cricket "Trap." Bait it and set it under the house? What do crickets eat anyway?

It could be a cricket cage for fishing bait but the ones I've seen are MUCH smaller. If you were using it for fishing it would be a bit cumbersome to carry a cage that large.

I think the hole is to small for a minnow trap. I have two and the hole is about 3/4" to 1 inch. We expanded it to about 1.5" ne one and the little ones still don't get out.
