It looks like a pocket gopher trap that used to show up once in a while, but something tells me this is much bigger.
As long as there has been steel traps a few folks have been trying to invent something better. There was a huge peak in this activity just after the Conibear became popular.
My uncle had a trap that looked a bit like your trap. I'm thinking they may have come from the same inventor. My uncles trap or traps to be correct, had only one jaw but from the looks of that trap they were very close in design otherwise.
I don't remember the name now, just that it was something kinda odd.
As I recall my uncles traps were made in BC.
There is a book, I think it's called obsolete and vintage traps by some Vince character. If your trap saw any popularity it should be in that book.
Unfortunately I don't have the book. Yet.
