I'm getting ready to sell some older wire muskrat stretcher but don't know the brand.
Thanks for the help.

Two styles.

i believe the first one is a newhouse brand. they were available when i was a kid, and they sucked. never seen that second one before.

Thank you. I've used them for years and don't mind them, just trying to standardize my equipment.

X2 on them sucking ,somebody gave me a few and I threw them away quickly.

I really like the first one.I always thought they were Blake and lamb stretchers as I was told they were but I could be wrong.

Found a couple of them in the basement of a house we purchased. They were either good stretchers or the only thing around. lol

For me I like them as the arms stay down better without sliding back up on you.

seen where guys use them as stabilizers for their dry land 220 sets

does not take much to put a wooden block with pluming strapping holding it together in the end for pinning the hide down

couple of stokes of a file roughs the edge for the arms to catch

I have some, don't use them anymore. But like Bruce said....Blake and Lamb.

I had about a dozen of them as they where about the only thing available for me at the time. Once others became available to me I quickly replaced them and used them for my 220 stands.

on google, the top pic comes up as newhouse. no idea on the bottom one.

Newhouse, I still have some I bought in 1969. I like them.

They are Newhouse. I ordered some from Sears 60 years ago. Snug sides down with clothes pins and do not pull hooks down much. Won top lot awards.

I'm with fossil2, the top stretcher is a Newhouse.

Had some back 20 plus years ago an sold, have some other rat stretchers, some are as old or older then me, I be 62 next month

Thank you everyone.

From the input:

First stretcher is a Newhouse.



I believe the second to be a difrent style Newhouse or possibly a Blake and Lamb.
