thanks korbe

I’m thinking that is a trapper add on. Not aware of Newhouse making a stoploss trap.

Trapper modification

Those add on stoploss where added to lots of old traps

I remember a old time rat trapper tell me he spent the whole winter on a hand drill drilling a hole in the traps so the stop-loss could be riveted on. He hated the job because it took every evening from Jan- March in the cold tool shed under the coal-oil lantern. The family of 10 probably had 800-1000 muskrat traps to do.
He never did believe in them but it was required in the fur block they were in.
