Originally manufactured by "Mole" (Trade Mark), since acquired by Stanley.
There are several Moles with phones listed in the San Diego phone directory
(but no Voles). There are 33 patents with inventors named Mole, so they are
not without at least a modest degree of ingenuity here in the U.S. and I
assume in England as well. Never met one myself, but I presume they're not
the same thing as your voles.

Slightly off that topic.. why do the British call locking pliers "mole
grips"? I sure don't see how that would ever be effective unless you used
one to whack the mole on the head first. And our cat manages to catch moles
(well, voles, anyway... Pretty much the same thing) without any tools at
all.
