I can no longer get a hold of the company for parts anymore and it seems what ever suppliers have left in stock is it. Maybe I am wrong, I am hoping so.

Newhouse traps - old cast jaw #1 LS's. I miss these as The Montgomerys were tough spring strength and inexpensive (still have 40 or so) and I never lost a water critter in the little Newhouse (still have 13 collectors and 3-4 users). Plus all the memories when fur was a sought after item. ........... the mike

Newhouse was a better trap IMO, but if I was setting out a beaver line setting a bunch of traps in a day, I would rather be setting B & L, they were easier to set.
