I swore I was going to stick to Newhouse but came a cross a group of Hawley Norton's locally for sale and figured close enough.....When looking through the traps we found a #3 Sure Catch in addition to the 4 HN's. Couldn't find much info on it outside of Tom Parr's book; made by PS&W in 1910, #0 thru #4 in long springs as well as a #1 Jump. Found no mention of it in Gerstell's book. Any information or reference for the trap would be appreciated.

Thanks,
Tim

It was made for the Canadian market and all of them started off in Canada. The fact that you found it in a bordering state close to Canada makes perfect sense.

You’re lucky you can read it entirely. I’ve never ever seen one that nice. It’s really extraordinary to find one like that.
