I couldn't find an example of an actual extractor, but I did find this which explains how they work. I also looked for the pliers that are illustrated on the link but I couldn't find an example of those either ...

P.S.
Surely a few of the stopper extractors still exist, but I suspect if they are not marked with the name Hutchinson or a patent number, that most people probably don't even know what they are. They kind of look like some type of long handled button hook. The same goes for the pliers - they are probably a mystery tool if not marked in some manner.

Take this mystery tool for example - can anybody tell me what it is and when it was patented? Of the dozens of people I have shown it to not one ever guessed correctly what it is.

Its a ...
Gopher Trap
According to the book I have, this type was made between 1877 and 1908. Mine is real similar to the one pictured in the middle which was the third model. I guesstimate the year at circa 1890-1900. Its spring operated and when sprung forces the points to clamp down onto Mr. unlucky gopher. They are considered rare.
