I am an avid trapper for the last 15 years but I’m not a historian. I know nothing about this trap other than what is stamped on the pan?? It says it is a Newhouse Oneida #4. Has a pat date but can’t read it?? Looks like it has the original chain and swivel as well?? Would like to know what time period this is from?? Any and all help appreciated
