OT: Taylor Fur Getter

I got to thinking that some of you being raised on the farm or maybe trapped for fur, has seen one of these contraptions. I have looked to buy one for years.
The Taylor Fur getter is a .22 caliber 'set gun' sold by the Taylor Fur Company of St. Louis, Mo. back in the 1920's and 30's. It is made of brass or bronze and is about 12" long and has a stake about midway. The trigger is a bait hook that sits in front of the muzzle. The idea is that brer Fox takes a bite and commits suicide. I imagine there are more of these around than folks will admit to because they think they have something illegal to own. they are illegal to USE, but not to own. The ATF placed them on the 'Curio and Relics' list because that is what they are..a curio. That kept the Fur Getter from falling under the short barreled weapon and dangerous device auspices of the Federal Firearms Act of 1934. So if you have one, I'd like to buy it.....and if nothing else, at least have a picture of it.
