As far as value: Here is a tackle box that I've dragged around to several flea markets and a trappers convention. But have yet to find someone that thinks it is 15 dollars worth of cool...

Thanks! Here's photo from one of my Woodstream catalogs..... Do not know the year, but all the Victor LS have short chains and the drowning locks on rings. Newhouse 4 1/2 Wolf is picture, no teeth, complete with wolf drag and snap chain. The trap is called the Tender Trap and is the fold-up model of the Tender Trap. Note the copyright name. I added the catalog cover..... Maybe Snakecollector can jump in and date it. I also discovered a GUIDE TO WILDLIFE TRAPS, LURES AND ACCESSORIES and on the cover is Victors new fox logo and traps listed are Victor-Conibear-Newhouse- Northwoods-Soft Catch. Did Victor buyout Northwoods? No TenderTrap is listed, but Havahart Professional Traps are pictured. Interesting catalog! The Northwoods L.S. listed are only #1 SS, Guard and DS, but the coils are #1-#3, with the #1 Guard being a special order trap. Are Northwood #1 coil stop loss a hard trap to find? "I'm an old dog, and these are all new tricks!"

Is it a user trap, or a set on the shelf trap? I searched Internet for info and learned tender trap is a name of a movie, a song and a restaurant but found nothing on value.
