I just bought a newhouse 48, and I'm curious if it is original. Did the 48s have a bolted on pan?

Your # 48 does look to be all original except for the bolt on the pan. That is a trapper modification for pan tension. The rivet was removed and the bolt was added.

What would you value this trap at? Also is this style of chain original? Thanks for your input.

Your trap is worth around $100. Yes, that is the original chain for that trap, 5' kink less.
