Thank you very much Posco. Any idea on what something like this is worth? I wouldn't be surprised if it went for $400 or $500, maybe more.

Flyman, My best estimate for your trap would be between 1900 and 1914. Your trap is in nice condition but like a lot of #4 1/2 Newhouse, it is missing the chain and drag. The complete chain with the drag and snap can be worth as much or more than the trap. Value is different for different people but I would put your trap, as is around $300 + or -, depending on the spring stamps.

Watching stuff that I view as grossly overpriced still seems to be selling on eBay and other auction houses. The serious collector might be being outbid by people with excess cash in their wallets.

Hi Flyman. I have a Hawbaker catalog that shows a black bear tangled up in a smallish tree with a 4 1/2 on its foot. While it was designed for wolves, They will hold a bear. I think a lot of the old timers used them for beavers. That may be why the factory chain and drag are missing. Here's one that is "As Found". Butchered chain makes it pretty obvious it was used for beaver. Snakecollector is right on about the chains. Most of them I come across have had the original chain setups altered. Easier to find the trap than the correct chain & drag parts.
