I recently bought a #4 Newhouse for a wall hanger. I was cleaning it up last night and found this star stamped on the fram. Was wondering if it was from the factory or added by an individual? Also if someone could give me an approximate age of the trap would be greatly appreciated.

IMO the star shape is a trappers mark, could be a ranch mark. Doesn't add any value to the trap IMO.

I think the trap was made between the 1911 pat date and 1925 when OC ceased production.
