The early HyGain yagis and verticals used traps that resembled "flying saucers". Generally, these were black in color. Glen, K9STH

And the Mosley trap assemblies are unpainted aluminum cylinders with black plastic end caps to keep water and insects out of the guts. The coil sections are wound on what seems to be white nylon forms. Two small holes are in the "BOTTOMS" of the traps to allow condensation to escape.

This may not be a Mosley then. It has two traps in each half of the driven element.
They are black and circular.
Looking inside, I can see they are quite dirty, almost a rust colored dirt, but not rusty. I do see the screw and
mounting post inside.
