I have an opportunity to pick up an ATC 4 1/2 Newhouse that appears to be all original and in great shape for $200.00. Can anyone spot anything on this trap that might not be correct? It all looks OK to me and while I got rid of one years ago, I am looking to hang one on my wall again with some furs. Is the price fair enough? I'm thinking it is and don't really want to insult the guy by making a lower offer....what say you guys? Pics below:

Same add I checked out last year. Fellow showed up with a couple. One pretty nice, Other had some rust issues and drag was bent. Got the one . Nice trap for the money.

And he was in no mood to haggle.. That's why just the one....

This guy says he has a couple. Hope one of them is a good one or I won't go home with any. You probably bought the good one in the photograph or is that the one with the bent drag? (can't quite tell from the photo).

Great picture!!!! Looks like the deal worked out good for you.

But I see a little spot by the switch that could use something like a #0 Newhouse...LOL

I agree. That space between the light switch and the coyote head mount looks VERY empty!! smile

See what you have made me do now? It sure does show the difference between the #4 and # 4 1/2 Newhouses.

Didn't take you long to fix that. Looks good. A few real nice racks you have there. Is that a MN wolf?

No, it is from Canada. I bought it a long time ago with all of the proper paperwork from a dealer who imported them and had them tanned. I collect racks and have also shot a few big ones myself....don't have a lot of room anymore.

Well, you did fill up that spot but it isn't quite right. I like the long chain hanging down but that one spring is just too cramped in there between the coyote had and the wolf pelt. Maybe you should use a single long rather than a double long. smile

OK, so I just moved the wolf pelt over to the right one inch and changed the angles of the springs on the # 4 and slightly changed the angle of the #4 1/2 too. It looks a little better with a gap now that the spring is not cramped in there. I am not giving you the satisfaction of having fun with me if I provide another picture so I'm just not gonna. smile If you wouldn't have said something I'm sure my girlfriend would have once she saw it too since it seems that women really pick up on those little things when it comes to decorating.

Now there is someone with an eye for design. I can see it now! Definitely needs a single spring like maybe.....ummmm...... a #31 1/2 Newhouse....
