It is interesting all the different chains used for traps over the years. The pictures in my guide are not very clear or detailed. Thanks for sharing, great picture. Looking forward to hear what trap it was used on and how old. MAGA!!!

Manufacture traps, 1850's - 1860's that there likely are no #1 1/2's or only a few latter in production. Up until 1864, there were not any #0 or #1 1/2 Newhouse traps. They were added to the Newhouse line sometime between 27 June 1864 and June 1865. Last edited by snakecollector; 02/02/21 01:30 AM.

Traphound, Ive heard both called safety pin but the Triumph chain is different (Triumph twisted link) Originally Posted by traphound think some triumph traps had that chain,believe its called safety pin chain When there is shot in the air, there is hope. When in doubt, throttle out! ATA, NTA, NATCA, ITA
