I saw it too. I have never seen one stamped like that but that doesn’t mean much. Mine is plain with no stamps. Maybe Dean will chime in on this one.

The only #4 Newhouse setting clamp that I have seen with a #4 on it is the early one with the flat oval handle.

These are the standard #4 size setting clamps, early flat oval top, round and tear drop top. There are several variations of the round top but they are not common.

The only other markings that I have seen on the #4 Newhouse setting clamp is a keystone mark from the foundry, it is on the tear drop, the last model made.

The clamp on EBay, you have to consider who is selling it. He has a lot of made up traps and parts that he sells as original. I would say that is not a Newhouse clamp.

I bought the trap clamp. I sent a text to the seller he assures me it is real. Said he bought out the animal trap inventory in 1980. Said the clamp was from that inventory.I’ll take his word.

Hey Bob you should join north american trap collectors. You would have access to hundreds of collectors that would help you with trap questions, and maybe keep you from making expensive mistakes....

How has no one bent over this fakes nose a time or two?? Miight make him think twice on scamming trusting people out of their money. I have no dog in this, just hate liars and cheats. Seems as if he makes his living this way, isn’t counterfeiting a prosecutable crime?
