BILL MAYER OP trapper B Joined: Sep 2023 Wisconsin	TRAP #1 IS 36 INCHES WIDE. TRAP #1 IS 36 INCHES WIDE. THE TEETH ARE RIVETED ON. THE PAN AND TRIP MECHANISM HAVE BEEN REMOVED LONG AGO BY AN UNKNOWN. IT LOOKS LIKE A BEAR TRAP TO ME. THE MOUNTS FOR THE JAWS LOOK LIKE A NEWHOUSE, BUT NEWHOUSE HAS WELDED ON TEETH, WHILE THESE ARE RIVETED ON. MAYBE IT IS AN EARLIER MODEL? THE ONLY MARKING THAT I CAN FIND ON THIS IS A “W” ON THE UNDERSIDE. TRAP #2 IS @34 INCHES WIDE: SEARCHING GOOGLE IMAGES, I HAVE FOUND NO OTHERS THAT LOOK LIKE IT. THE CHAIN IS PRETTY LIGHT DUTY FOR A BEAR OR EVEN A LARGE WOLF? THE LARGE GAP IN THE JAWS IS PUZZLING? WAS IT MADE TO GRAB THE HEAD OF AN ANIMAL? THE TRAPPERS TAG WIRED TO THE RING IS INSCRIBED” AL MURRAY SPALDING, MICH”. IT IS A NEWHOUSE TRAP. ANY INFO THAT YOU CAN PROVIDE IS APPRECIATED. BILL MAYER HALES CORNERS, WI
