My weekend treasure hunt..

[Sterling]

Here are some pics of some items I picked up this weekend at some yard sales.. The trap I paid 6.00, and the plate was 1.00. Any info on this trap would be appreciated.. It is marked newhouse # O, and a pat date of 1902, and it is in great shape .. The plate is about 18" in in diameter has a markers mark stamped in red..

Sweet trap
I think the #0 traps were used for mink and martens..

Try a forum called "trapperman" for the trap. Some traps are very collectable.

That trap is VERY nice, IMO any New House trap is collectible especially in that condition. Looks to be all original parts also.
