The HAWCO minnow traps were sold by the Shakespeare Company, and possibly
under the HAWCO name. Not much is currently know about HAWCO, except that
they marketed fishing tackle in the early 1900's and for some years
later. The first HAWCO trap ( o-shaped feet) came in a wooden box, with
the name stenciled on the side. Not sure about the later model with the
Shakespeare - type wire frame. Any information about HAWCO would be greatly
appreciated. These pictures are the same as those on the Shakespeare page,
and listed separately because the HAWCO trap is sometimes not associated
with Shakespeare.
