I have one. Been tempted to set it for under ice beaver but I can't find an active colony within reasonable walking distance.

Every few years I do that with a few 14s... just to feel nostalgic There you go. I have a Newhouse #4 I'd like to set but don't want to risk losing it. Are the #14s an uncommon trap to come across? I found mine at a roadside flea market. Spring is just as strong as the day it was made and it's dyed jet black. Missing the ring and some additional chain was added but still a very nice trap.

# 14 jumps are fairly common, in my opinion. At any trapping convention you can usually find them at several booths or tail gate spots. Prices will vary.
The two smaller sizes - # 13 and # 12 - are the difficult ones to find. Especially the 12. Good to know. When did they stop making them?

In my book the best otter and beaver foothold trap there is.Caught many of them in number 14 jumps.

I agree with Bruce T the 14 was a great beaver otter trap ,cant use a trap with teeth now in Michigan,i picked up a 13 in new condition someone cut the teeth out. I have some #4 jumps victor and blake/lame that I use now and then,they are a good trap also. that is a nice string of 14s there 330 trapper.

I have nothing clever to put here.
