I ended up with what I thought was a 48 Newhouse but as I began to clean it up I am wondering. The pan appears to be a 14 pan, from what I barely read. The rivet holding pan appears to be original issue. The jaw nuts have lock washers under them? The base has very little rust compared to jaws. Also at the cross of the baseplate there is not the Newhouse rectangle weld but a round punch rivet? I was thinking it was a Frankenstein trap made of a more modern base, 14 pan, 48 jaws and springs, but as I said the pan rivet/post seems original? I understand without photos this isn’t much help, (it’s been a while since I knew how to upload a pic here). I’m thinking the weld and the fact that there is lock washers makes it a mix mash. Any thoughts?
These are in good condition, complete with original chains and rings and strong. They are all stamped on longspring. Could be user traps or some are nice enough to use as collectors. Looking to sell for $25.00 apiece or would trade for Sterlings, Jakes, Alphas, MB's, silver coins, bars, bullion, rounds or old US paper currency. Buyer pays shipping,
Well I am almost a library now I have 919 books in my collection, so 81 more to go, 3-4 years Id guess
Started in 1997 with a book I foudn in a small out building at Pop's it was title, Jungle Beasts I Have Captured by Charles Mayer. I asked Pop if I could have it and started form there,while married for 15 years I only added 10-15 books a year LOL. Since the divorce its more like 20-40 a year Id guess.
Can't wait to hit that magical 1000 some day!

I am trying to better understand the difference between two castor-based lures I made.
For the first batch, I tinctured beaver castor in vodka for six months. I then took that tincture and mixed it with dried, ground castor that I purchased online. The ground castor wasn't a powder but more of a coffee ground consistency. The resulting aroma after sitting a week has a cold, sharp, almost metallic quality that I find very appealing.
For the second batch, I attempted to replicate that same scent profile using the leftover castor from my tincture that I dried then ground into a very fine powder because I couldn't get that coffee ground texture. However, this batch has a much more mellow scent and lacks that sharp, cold characteristic I observed in the first after waiting a week.
For both batches, I used a 1:1 ratio by volume (1 oz ground castor to 1 oz tincture).
My assumption is that the difference comes from the castor in the first batch still containing its full range of phenolic compounds, while the castor in the second batch had already been extracted during tincturing.
Some on here have been talking about Svengoolie and some of the good horror films. I have seen a few that were OK. But, lately for the second time I've started watching The Strain. If you like horror, it's got to be right at the top. Anybody else watch it?
Just letting folks know that I'm interested in purchasing larger lots of trapping books, literature and dvds. My inventory is awesome, but it never hurts to have more. Please message me if you're looking to clean house or know of someone looking to sell. I'm interested in large or small collections. Thanks Matt.

Probably a long shot here but I’m looking to buy an older center dump gravity box with good running gear. I’d prefer 300 bushel size but I’d be willing to look at other sizes. Must be in Wisconsin. PM me if you’ve got one for sale or know of someone who does. Thanks.
Anyone ever watch him? He's a conservative, Christian comedian. He has some really good political bits, and also some really funny stuff on animal rights activists.
