There are many variables when pricing a trap, such as are all the teeth there, are they tight, how is the other spring stamp, does the trap have any welds or repairs, and other things. Several more pictures need to be seen to substantiate a reasonable depiction of value. I sent you a PM. "PURVEYOR OF FINE ANTIQUTIES and RARE TRAPS". Member... MTA/CFM/NTA/NRA/NATCA #0620

Is that time frame correct?This trap has one tooth missing, no welds or repairs that i can see.both springs are stamped Kenwood New york. The jaws are stamped with his grandpas name.Does that hurt the value? Alsogot a few names of other ranchers that have old newhouse traps. I willbe checking them out as well.I took some more pix of this trap. will post shortly. The Green Eyed Trapper

A true collector will want a trap that is perfect, or close to it. Yours is not close to perfect. For a person that wants a # 6 Newhouse to sit by the fireplace as a display piece, he might like your trap - he can tell all sorts of stories about the trapper that owned the trap originally and how the tooth got broken off. www.usedtraps.com Please check out my updated inventory of Native American books.

I tried for years to track down a newhouse that belonged to one of my great grandfathers. He used it here to trap black bear..Sadly it was stolen from the family.. Deep in the heart of Appalachia....
