Picked up a few traps the other day- a victor 3N thats all original and in great shape and I also got a Newhouse #3 with only one spring, but has original chain and loop. Did they make a single spring #3 or am I missing a spring? Also, it has the community stamping on the spring, any idea its value? Pan is somewhat readable.

Most likely the # 3 Newhouse is missing a spring. Trappers always are messing with traps to make them better fit the situation.

Missing spring, somewhat readable pan = about $17.50 or so. Very similar in price to the Victor 3N. IMO.

The real number threes leaving the factory all had two springs.

Thanks guys(and gal), appreciate the feedback. Not too concerned, but I am curious- what is the value of a completely original 3N that has Property of US stamped on bottom?
