Anyone have a guesstimate on the value of this trap, or any information about it? All help is appreciated.

The stamping on the spring is pretty worn, but looks to read, "Newhouse Onieda Community, N.Y".

Tony, Looks like you have a #5 slick pan. With the chain swivel hooked to the base and cast tooth jaws, it would be the later slick pan model. Trap Collectors Guide dates it around 1863-65..... It looks to be all complete and unmessed with....

My opinion on prices sometimes gets me in trouble but I can quote you the Price Guide numbers.
Second Model Slickpan -- Good $1100 -- Excellent $1500

In the time period that second trap was made, even the smaller Newhouse have very long tips on the cross pieces.
