For your consideration is an American coastal half round wooden lobster or fisherman's trap. This great rustic slatted wooden trap shows original wood construction in a half dome shape. This piece includes netting and latches. The East Coast cold water lobster, often referred to as the American or Maine lobster, is found in the northwest Atlantic Ocean from Labrador to Cape Hatteras. They're most abundant in coastal waters from Maine through New Jersey, and are also common offshore to depths of 2,300 feet from Maine through North Carolina. The West Coast lobster (or spiny lobster) has no claws, but a big, delicious tail. Unlike the Maine lobster, which defends itself with its claws, the West Coast lobster uses its tail. The wood shows a consistent weathering from use and age but appears to be in good shape considering it's age and use. It measures 20.5"W x 32.5"L x 14.5"D
